About the wine
- Sam wanted to treat our Angels to something truly special as a thank you for saving him - here it is, super-elegant and silky Strathbogie Pinot.
- Sam's a one-man band now. So you don't have to pay for a sales & marketing team. Just delicious grapes and honest winemaking from the heart.
- This perfect Pinot would normally be quaffed in the top-end bars and restaurants of Melbourne - luckily Sam sneaked a tiny parcel out to the UK.

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!
