Katie Jones La Voie Minervois Magnum 2019
About the wine
Your bumper-sized 'merci' for backing Katie to hunt for hidden treasure
- This super-sized 1.5L magnum of juicy, fruity, crowd-pleasing red has been blended especially for Angels by Naked legend Katie Jones. She’s massively passionate about showcasing her unsung region, which is full of undiscovered treasures that are hard to find if you don't know where to look.
- Katie says “I love it because it's soft, fruity, approachable, ripe, evocative of hot summer days. The Grenache brings bags of soft, juicy strawberry fruit, the Syrah adds spice, herbs and a lovely complexity, the Carignan is great for character and concentration and the Mourvedre gives a touch of depth and power.”
- If there's one bottle you need to impress your mates at those late summer barbies, it’s this super-sized magnum of Southern French sunshine. It will cope with anything your late summer frolics are likely to throw at it, from a big plate of sizzling bangers to a giant bowl of spicy pasta.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Katie Jones
- Katie’s love of wine led her all the way from Leicestershire to the Languedoc where she bought an idyllic vineyard perched half-way up a hill in Tuchan. In 2013 she experienced every winemaker’s worst nightmare when vandals emptied her entire year’s vintage down the drain.
- She turned to us. And 2,500 Angels helped to get her back on her feet - clubbing together to raise over £200k in just 48 hours. Our Queen of the Languedoc was able to start again and has gone on to make some seriously delicious wines, with sparkly awards a plenty.
- Thanks to her beloved Angels, Katie has been able to nab more hilltop vineyards, expand her range and even move her winemaking operation into an old railway station to fit in more barrels. It’s a long way from the 600 cases of wine she made in her garage in 2009!
