• When Naked asked me to make a delicious and affordable Aussie red, I knew just the wine for the job. A Shiraz with depth, intense fruit, and spice… with a hint of Viognier to give a touch of floral lift.
• There are so many great vineyards surrounding us, but having a route to market has always been the key, which is why we’ve remained a small wine business. Your funding allows me to focus on what I’m good at (winemaking), and my husband to focus on what he’s good at (growing grapes and breeding cattle).
• This is a wine with oodles of juicy dark red fruits – cherry, blackberry jam, and plum, with a hint of earth and oak.
• I'd suggest letting this wine chill out in the bottle a bit after its big journey overseas... one month ideally. Or if you can't wait that long, decanting will help all of the ripe, juicy delicious fruit to sing from the glass!

• Nina is always in and out of some great cellars and when she stumbled upon this seriously delicious drop she just had to snap it up for you Angels.
• This Shiraz is bouncy. So full of life, packed with juicy fruit, and plush. Just a hint of spice beneath the vibrant red fruits.  
• Have it with a barbeque, or on its own with friends… and see if you can say the tongue twister after a bottle...

• Aromatics lovers rejoice! A & R's favourite old-world styles were the inspiration behind this delicate, semi-dry blend that's changing a few views on the classics.
• Predominantly made up of Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris, the stuff of off-dry dreams. Expect tropical fruit, minerality and a little sweet spice in the finish. Fragrant, delicate and full of finesse.
• Whatever you do, don't over chill this one - you'll lose the subtle flavours that make the wine so special. Take it out of the fridge when you order your Thai takeaway and try not to sneak a sip while you wait... go on, we dare you!

• Aussie Winemaker Tash Mooney wanted to make a Chardonnay with a bold fruity character and a delicate 'kiss' of oak... it's a notoriously perilous balancing act but the end result makes for one unbeatable Chardonnay.
• This was a project that would never have seen the light of day if it weren't for Angel funding. Your help was essential in giving Natasha the confidence to take her best laid plans off the drawing board and bringing a Chardonnay fit for Angels into reality.
• Fresh tropical fruit flavours of yellow peach and papaya are offset effortlessly by that all important kiss of oak which provides an impressive creaminess and structure. Beautifully round in the mouth, this is a Chardonnay that's guaranteed to hit the mark every time.

• We've all kissed our fair share of frogs when it comes to big reds - with promises of unctuous fruit flavours and spices to get your heart rate climbing. It's far too easy to find yourself with a smooth talking bottle whose watery contents just ain't doing it for you.
• Tash's brand new Shiraz is called The Kiss for a reason. Once you've poured yourself a glass of this baby, you'll see that your frog days are well behind you - this is the real Princely deal.
• After listening to one too many lovelorn red drinkers, Tash took matters into her own hands, drawing up plans to make a Shiraz our Angels would be guaranteed to fall head over heels for. Full of lush dark fruits (blackberries and ripe plums), classy undertones of spice and just a gentle touch of almondy oak, this really is a triumph.

• The 2012 vintage of this little beauty was a huge hit with the Aussie Angels (and top wine critic James Halliday - who awarded it a whopping 93 points) ...now finally we've got our hands on it!
• This rich, elegant blend is Adrian and Rebecca's take on a Rhone classic. Take a long sip and let it wrap around your tongue like a velvety-smooth cashmere blanket - the perfect winter warmer.
• And because your Angel funding set Adrian and Rebecca up in business, they're giving you mates' rates.

• Nina spotted this seriously zesty Chardonnay when she was travelling around Oz and had to nab it all, just for you Angels. 
• This wine is fresh and vibrant, packed full of lemon, kaffir lime leaf and melon and just a hint of toasty oak to compliment the citrus. 
• Serve with Asian ginger and soy poached chicken salad… or something less fancy but equally delicious like fish and chips. 

• Chalk Hill winemaker, Jock Harvey, turned the tide on how Australians approached their beloved Shiraz. For years, big blockbuster reds were the preferred tipple, but the McLaren Vale trailblazer demonstrated that South Australian Shiraz could be beautifully refined and elegant too. And his efforts haven't gone unnoticed in top wine circles
• Chalk Hill Luna Shiraz 2019 swooped in to take the coveted gold medal at the prestigious Vienna International Wine Challenge, defeating esteemed wines from across the globe.
• Vibrant red and dark fruits combine with warming spice and creamy walnut flavours; it's elegant with a long, silky smooth finish.

• It's been a crazy year... so it's no surprise that Angels have been looking for wines with that 'comfort factor'. We all need a drop that we can rely upon to bring bright, flavorsome warmth and reassuring familiarity, just like a hug from a friend. Nina was listening and knew just what to do.
• From harvest through to maturation, Nina's been sure to make this is a wine with an aromatic focus, highlighting the plush gentle palate that is the calling card of Merlot from the land down under.
• Soft juicy berries on the nose, jammy raspberries and morello cherries on the palate, this is an easy drinker to end all easy drinkers. It's your staple toasty red, no need to think twice.

• My Rebel Bubbles are the ultimate party starter! Beautiful aromas of citrus and peach fruit abound, with a delicious creamy palate and a crisp and refreshing finish.
• A classic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it's the perfect balance of fruit, sweetness and acidity that makes this wine so very hard to resist.
• Aussie Angels can't get enough of this rebellious fizz, but I managed to wrestle a few bottles over to the UK so you can enjoy it too!
