About the wine
Limited single-vineyard Shiraz - a refined, sultry Aussie classic
- This powerful, elegant Shiraz is flush with bold dark fruits, a touch of warm spices and a plush texture thanks to 14 months of barrel aging.
- The grapes for this wine are handpicked from magnificent vineyards in Heathcote, one of Australia’s most prestigious Shiraz regions. Now for funding Sam, you get an unmatched price on this world-class red!
- Sam says, "for fans of the dangerously big (and generally expensive) Australian Shiraz, this is a crackingly good example." And it’s all yours for a song!
Best before
I happily drink this wine as a youngster - I love the combination of plushness, intensity of flavor and balance it has now. But this wine also has an impressive ability to age.
Serving advice
Best served at 60-64ºF.
Food match
Ideally we'd have a piece of aged beef to go with this Shiraz. I really like beef off the barbecue with some hickory on the coals - the wood smoke is a lovely match for the sweet smokey oak character in Tait's Shiraz.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Sam is one of our Australian All-Stars. He garnered lots of attention as the award-winning winemaker at Plunkett Fowles.
- But Plunkett Fowles hit rough waters and Sam wasn't sure he'd be able to stay in the wine business...until he became Angel funded. Your support put his startup on the map.
- Now Sam is off to the races – with the same dedication to quality winemaking that won so many accolades at Plunkett Fowles – and none of the bother about sales and marketing.
