About the wine
Jen's Hero range is made from hand-selected parcels of premium Victorian fruit
- The grapes for this wine are from my family's Rutherglen vineyards and fruit grown in the rich soils of Heathcote in Central Victoria. Post fermentation each parcel was pressed and matured in both new and seasoned American and French oak barrels for 12 months, before blending prior to bottling.
- My Hero range of wines really offer the best bang for your buck, they're made from hand selected parcels of premium fruit. My Shiraz in particular works so well with food, you should give it a try!
- This wine has such a lovely deep red colour, with red and black berry flavours and spicy overtones. It's a medium to full bodied wine with hints of chocolate, there's a lovely richness to the wine, and the oak just finishes the wine off perfectly - it's the ideal wine if you're looking to add a bit of spice to your life!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jen Pfeiffer
- Back in 2012, during a trip to Oz, Sam Plunkett insisted we paid a visit to his friend ‘the girl with the superstar palate’. The bad news was she was busy judging at a wine show but we were patient and the second we finally got to meet Jen, we just knew it was meant to be.
- Energetic, passionate and oh-so talented, Jen grew up in a winemaking family and fell in love with the industry from a young age! She travelled widely, learning her craft at many of the great wineries in France and Portugal before returning to the family winery with a desire to really push the boundaries
- Our ‘Rock it like a Redhead’ star has won hundreds of medals and was also crowned your Winemaker of the Year in 2015 so it’s safe to say she was definitely worth the wait!
