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
Núria seeks out and saves only her very best old-vine grapes for this rich and powerful red
-
L’Estel is one of the very first wines Núria and Rafael made when they set up back in 2010, using fruit sourced from Núria’s own winemaker father. Since then she’s sought out and added top-quality grapes from old vines among her own vineyards and around the local region, to produce a wine of stunning complexity and balance.
-
As gently as possible to avoid damage to the fruit, Núria hand picks, sorts and crushes her best grapes for this rich and powerful red. It’s loaded with buckets of ripe, juicy plums and red berries with a smooth, velvety, melt-in-your-mouth texture from ageing in posh oak.
-
This full-bodied wine delivers tons of depth and complexity with lush damsons and licorice combining with the oak to produce a real heart-warmer. It’s perfect for a barbecued beef steak at the height of summer or a rich porky stew in the depths of winter.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Núria Altés and Rafael de Haan
- Núria Altés comes from a long line of grape-growers. From playing in her grandfather’s vines as a child to bottling her first wine with her father’s grapes, Núria is proud of her winemaking roots. So in 2010 Núria and her partner Rafael set up a little winery in the Terra Alta region - called Herència Altés.
- What makes their wines so special is the grapes come exclusively from Núria's family vineyards which hosts a selection of seasoned old vines ranging from 40 to 90 years old. In other words your getting impeccaple concentrated flavours you don't find on the average supermarket shelf.
- They’ve gone from strength to strength, picking up awards and Parker Points galore. That was until Covid-19 turned their world upside down. Luckily, 3,000 Angels stepped in and snapped a case of their premium wines. Angel support means they can plan their future harvests with confidence.
