Simpsons of Servian Al Fresco Blanc 2016
About the wine
Charles & Ruth's deliciously aromatic Southern French quaffer
- Once again, Angel funding has given us the confidence and flexibility to produce the best and most interesting white wine possible at an accessible price.
- Our Al Fresco Blanc is a unique blend that highlights the aromatics of Muscat, the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc and the texture of Marsanne. Each was tended to separately before being carefully blended to create this deliciously quaffable white.
- This wine is a pale straw colour, with tropical aromas of grapefruit and pineapple and clean, crisp citrus flavours. It's a perfect match with Pad Thai on a crisp winter evening!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Charles & Ruth Simpson
- 18 years ago, Charles & Ruth took a leap into the unknown. They quit their dull, corporate jobs. Hopped on the first plane to France. And bought up their own little patch of grape-growing land in Southern France.
- It turned out to be an inspired move. Since then their delicious, Angel-exclusive wines haven’t stopped scooping IWC and Decanter World Wine Awards and rave reviews from wine-critic royalty.
- Their dream was always to return to their roots, making English wine in Blighty. Your backing also gave them the confidence to do just that! In 2014 they returned to their roots and planting their first English vineyard near Canterbury.
