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
Pure, moreish Syrah from one of Spain's most elite vineyards
- The first time Rodolfo tried Pago de Los Balagueses Syrah, he knew that he had made a true jewel. But he shouldn't have been surprised. It just so happens that this Syrah was grown on the very land Rodolfo grew up on, which has now been granted 'Vino de Pago' status. That makes it one of Spain's 17 most prized vineyards.
- The soil, microclimate, and long history of the vineyard are second to none. In fact there have been winemakers working in the area since the 5th century BC... how's that for established! Reflecting the land remains #1 to Rodolfo so organic and biodynamic production is essential.
- Grown at a high flying 700m above sea level, the Syrah has bright acidity and delicately soft tannins. Ripe black fruit and deep plum flavours are the main event, offset with elegance by cracked black pepper spice.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rodolfo Valiente
-
Rodolfo Valiente is a fourth-generation winemaker from a long line of grape-growers, distillers and winemakers. With winemaking in his blood, he had an itch to be in the vineyard, so it was no surprise when he ditched is big city lawyer job to follow his dream.
-
Despite his family's connections, he took himself on a mission to learn the trade, spending vintages in Spain and California understanding the process, from tending to the vines to bottling the wines. In 1999, armed with a wealth of wine knowledge, his transfer from the corporate world to sun-drenched vineyards was complete and Rodolfo made his first commercial wine from the family's vineyard.
-
The Valencian Association of Winemakers appointed Rodolfo as their 'Winemaker of the Year' in 2017 for his concentrated but elegant, mature but fresh organic wines.
