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 add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Francois took everything he learned at Waterford to make this wine for you
Francois uses top fruit from the cool, elevated vineyards on the slopes of Helderberg in Stellenbosch - a spot that's currently earning itself a pretty sizable reputation as one of the region’s top sites.
A staggering number of South Africa's greatest wines and wineries have come out of Helderberg - including Waterford, where Francois cut his teeth. A true boutique winemaker, Francois just loves working with these grapes and uses all the tips and tricks he learnt at Waterford to turn them into this ultra-classy Old World style Cab.
This is a real grown-up wine - deep, dark and rich with a brooding intensity on the nose, followed by a delightfully bright, vibrant palate, laden with plenty of dark, juicy berries. A touch of rich coffee and scrummy smokiness lead the way to a long savoury finish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Francois Haasbroek
- Francois has worked for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Dry Creek Vineyard in Sonoma, Jackson Estate in Marlborough, and Waterford Estate back home in Stellenbosch.
- His real passion however, is seeking out under the radar parcels to craft boutique wines - so in 2014 he ditched the high-flying day job to turn his hand to making the next great underground wine.
- Francois now focuses exclusively on creating high quality, single-vineyard wines from small-scale sites hidden away all over the Western Cape. He built long lasting relationships with the growers and made wines true to their site of origin, with as little human jiggery-pokery as possible.
