About the wine
- Awaiting copy
Best before
Butterfly Effect Shiraz should be a drink now style, and this wine can be enjoyed now for its rich plushness. But is also has enough weight, intensity of flavour, and the tannin and acid structure to let it mature for up to 5 years. As it gets older the colour will become more garnet and the wine will taste increasingly savoury and complex.
Serving advice
No need to decant - open it and enjoy!
Food match
A versatile full bodied red which will go well with all kinds of meat based dishes. For me, delicious with char grilled steak.

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!
