About the wine
Rich, ripe Glenrowan Shiraz
- Winemaker Sam Plunkett has been inspired by the Victorian period. This wine provides Sam with the opportunity to incorporate new technologies and inventiveness in his winemaking to showcase wines from around the state of Victoria.
- The fruit for this wine was grown on John and Joan Woodruff's vineyard at Glenrowan in Victoria. This wine is full bodied and well balanced with luscious fruit flavours, think Plums, rum & raisin & chocolate... yum!
- This wine is a terrific example of the ripe rich Glenrowan Shiraz.

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!
