About the wine
Not all Shiraz is created equal - as this 1.5L magnum of Sam's special Reserve Shiraz proves
-
Sam Plunkett’s Shirazes are already some of our most popular reds of all time. They’re rich, juicy and everything you expect from the man who literally made the best Shiraz in all of Australia.
-
But this isn’t just your regular Shiraz. Oh no… this is a 1.5L magnum of Sam’s Reserve edition. That means better grapes, riper fruit, oak barrels, more attention to detail in the winery. Basically, this is our best-selling Aussie Shiraz ever – made on a grander scale every step of the way.
-
You’ll get lovely aromas of dark cherries and blackberries, hints of violets and fresh herbs. All that deliciousness comes through on the palate with a smooth, easy-drinking finish – the kind that makes you think “how on earth did we polish off a magnum of wine so quickly?”

Serving advice
No need to decant, and best served around 16-18°C
Food match
This is a versatile red and will match with most red meat dishes especially roast lamb.
The bomb of fruit flavour, and that silky tannin also makes it great match for game food. I know this sounds silly because venison or wild boar pretty much never hits our table, but if we were eating game, this would be the wine!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Legend is a word we sometimes overuse, but in Sam's case, it's true. Over in Oz he’s regarded as one of their greatest living winemakers. Getting on for a thousand medals and trophies to his name, including the daddy of them all – the Best Shiraz in Australia Trophy at the 2010 Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.
- Yet if you met him, you’d probably mistake him for the gardener. He’s one of the most down-to-earth, approachable blokes you’ll ever meet. He wears a beat-up old hat and drives a beat-up old pick up, and when he’s not in the vineyard, you’re likely to find him up a ladder with a wrench in his hand.
- From being in a pretty sticky situation back in 2011 when he was unexpectedly bought-out by his business partner, Sam has just achieved his lifetime dream; he’s converted an old textile factory into his very own gleaming high-tech winery and it’s all thanks to Angel funding!
