About the wine
Sultry, plush Shiraz from your go-to expert of South Australia
- Sam’s signature Shiraz is an intense rush of luscious red fruit flavors with a rich, plush texture and just a touch of oaky spice on the long, long finish. For Australia’s hallmark red wine from a Down Under legacy winemaker, you’ve come to the right place.
- With the help of your funding, Sam selected his Shiraz from a handful of top-notch vineyards sprinkled throughout his home region of Victoria in South Australia, where some of the country’s most coveted Shiraz grows.
- Take it from Sam, nothing goes better with “the barbie” than a big, powerhouse Shiraz. For a perfect summertime pairing, a char-grilled steak is just the ticket.
Best before
I like the brightness of flavor and plush texture of this wine, so will quietly encourage people to drink it as a relatively young wine, say over the next 1-2 years. But I know there are some people who will enjoy it with enough age that the complex, savory flavors have time to develop. This is a long-winded way of saying....can be enjoyed now, but has the capacity to age 3-5 years!
Serving advice
Serve at a coolish room temperature of say around 60-64º F.
Food match
My wife Bron is good at this stuff and suggests paella so long as it has smokey chorizo, or sticky BBQ spare ribs. These aren't local foods, but Australia as a nation with lots of immigrants is happy to borrow from any culture or cuisine!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Sam is one of our Australian All-Stars. He garnered lots of attention as the award-winning winemaker at Plunkett Fowles.
- But Plunkett Fowles hit rough waters and Sam wasn't sure he'd be able to stay in the wine business...until he became Angel funded. Your support put his startup on the map.
- Now Sam is off to the races – with the same dedication to quality winemaking that won so many accolades at Plunkett Fowles – and none of the bother about sales and marketing.
