About the wine
Carmen got her hands on top-end fruit to make this smooth and sumptuous medal-winning Shiraz
- With a drought looming, I had to look for growers that were better equiped for the 2015 harvest of my Western Cape Shiraz (including growers with older vineyards, the right slopes with the right amount of sunlight etc), and Angel funding made negotiations a breeze.
- I decided to use vineyards from a few different areas to bring the best attributes to the wine, using grapes from Stellenbosch for the elegance and dark fruit, Elgin for the white pepper and finesse, Darling for the salt and pepper that I like in Shiraz from this region, and Wellington for earthy notes and more lush, dark fruit.
- 2015 was the best vintage in South Africa for the past 20 years, and all these vineyards have benefited from the vintage. The wine is mind blowing, not just because of the vines but because weather wise Mother Nature was just so good to us. I cannot express in words how proud I am of this wine. Congratulations, Angels for investing in such a beauty. Thank you from a very pleased and proud Angel funded winemaker...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Carmen Stevens
- From humble roots, Carmen blazed a trail, to become head winemaker at a prestigious winery in South Africa. Her wines won medals by the truckload, yet she couldn’t even get a bank overdraft to start her own business.
- That was until Angel funding allowed her to finally fulfil her dream of setting up her own winery. Carmen has gone from strength to strength ever since, winning countless awards (including being voted your Winemaker of the Decade!)
- With your support, coupled with her sheer passion and determination, Carmen is helping to create a better future for thousands of hungry South African children thanks to Angel donations.
