Sam Plunkett The Butterfly Effect Sauvignon Blanc 2022
About the wine
Crisp, refreshing VIC Savvy B
- Grapes from three distinct vineyards in Murchison, Katunga and the Yarra Valley - some with more tropical characters, some greener - have left their delicious fingerprints on the finished wine.
- Sam is renowned for re-working each vintage based on Angel feedback and this is no exception. This wine has the flavours of spring like snow peas and herbs, plus a heady tropical note. It’s crisp but with a roundness which softens it a little.
- A simple, refreshing and thoroughly enjoyable wine by an Angel favourite winemaker - this is certainly one to stock up the fridge with!
Best before
Drink it as a youngster!
Serving advice
Cool but not too cold (straight out of the fridge and some of the flavours will be subdued). If there is an idea temperature, I'll say 10C.
Food match
Hmm, in the world of Sauvignon Blanc this wine has enough weight that it will work well with white meat, but has those fresh green flavours asking for spring vegetable and a salad, so I'm thinking a chicken Caesar salad. If I can be cheeky and suggest a second (and vegetarian) option... Jude who works with us had one taste and went straight to vegetable risotto.
