Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll give you your money back. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Top-shelf Sauvignon Blanc from the sought-after Russian River Valley
- If you’ve never tasted a USA Sauvignon before, you’re in for a treat. Ondine’s top-shelf drop strikes the perfect balance between the pure, heady tropical fruit of a Kiwi Savvy and the fresh clean citrus zing of a posh French SB.
- Ondine spent 18 years mastering Sauvignon when she worked for the flagship Geyser Peak winery, spending a good chunk of that time working alongside Daryl Groom (who lent a hand with this project and shares the billing on the wine label).
- Ondine says: “This Sauvignon Blanc is a divine companion to fresh oysters sourced from cool waters, and it’s a great wine to sip with friends to get the evening's festivities going. "

Food match
The brine character in crustaceans is a perfect match to the racy and mineral character that is the foundation of this Sauvignon Blanc. I love a simple poached prawn pairing enlivened with a fresh mango salsa. Classic Baja fish tacos are also a wonderfully satisfying pairing as the array of flavors in the tacos brings out the diversity of flavors in the Sauvignon Blanc. This is also a good partner to summer salads as the tender greens bring out the grassy notes in the wine, add some crunchy Fuji apple chunks and the combination is a delicate flavor explosion.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
-
One of the top winemaking talents in Sonoma, Ondine Chattan worked for famous US wineries, including Ridge Vineyards and Cline Cellars. She also spent decades overseeing the iconic Geyser Peak winery.
-
Geyser Peak was the long-time winemaking home of Naked legend Daryl Groom – and it’s where Ondine and him met. That was a decade ago, and they’ve been great mates ever since.
-
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
