From the gentle slopes of Southern France comes Denis’ debut wine for Angels and it’s a seriously classy one that had us grinning from ear to ear from the first sip. No wonder this guy is so highly sought after!

Dark red in colour, with a sumptuous mix of spicy aromas and gorgeous dark fruits such as cherries and blackcurrants, this wine boasts a superb structure and the long, round finish that’s typical of wines from the area.  

Denis has won loads of awards and this vintage was no exception, bagging Gold in the Concours de Vins Orange awards so snap up a bottle of this fruity, full bodied Rhône wine before word gets out and it’s all gone!

Matt's world-class Zinf is bold, yet luxuriously smooth. Overflowing with ripe blueberries, cassis, and elegant violet aromas, and on the palate it makes the mouth water with juiciness, with a decadent finish of coffee and spice too. In other words, the kind of wine that won't stay in the rack for long...

It's been earning rave reviews in the states, where the first three vintages have averaged a stonking 91% rating with US Angels. So when Matt mentioned a rare opportunity to create a special batch of his blockbuster new Zinfandel just for UK Angels, we could barely contain our excitement.

A super rare find from the historic California region of Contra Costa County, in Oakley, Matt sources his old vine grapes from an esteemed family vineyard where the owners have been farming for 5 generations! Sadly, while Oakley is a goldmine for high-quality Zinfandel, its grape-growers are straining under the pressures of urban sprawl. That's why, when we tasted this wonderful wine, we were more than happy to give Matt the extra funding he needed to invest in Oakley’s incredible vineyards and keep them going for generations to come.

Cerina is a super talented winemaker who knows a secret that few SA winemakers are yet to catch on to. Whilst working out in the West Coast bushland of South Africa, she discovered a handful of old bush vines - sitting at a dizzying 400m altitude with cool Atlantic breezes, these vines were built to make premium quality wines. Fact.

This luxurious and tummy-warming red is a prime example of what makes South African Syrah so darn good. It’s a rich feast of blueberries and deep blackberry flavours with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg to bring it all together.

It’s already super-delicious and ready-to-enjoy right now but give it a couple of years and those flavours will just multiply. A dreamy Syrah like this cries out for a special slap-up meal so our tip is to save it for your next birthday or anniversary, then pour yourself a glass and enjoy with a juicy steak in peppercorn sauce and a side of chunky chips. Yummy.
