There's a small boutique winery in the back streets of Mendoza that’s gained a reputation for some of the most elegant, high-quality Malbecs in Argentina. As luck would have it, the owner happens to be our very own Marcelo Bocardo. It's also where he makes this top-notch Malbec. No wonder Angels love it to bits…

The fruit comes from 10 to 100-year-old vines in one of Mendoza’s oldest Malbec fine wine regions, where hot sunny days and super-cool nights give the grapes a naturally higher concentration of colour, aromas and flavours. Marcelo hand-harvests and manually selects the grapes for maximum flavour, aroma and elegance of tannins. Finally, he ages the wines minimally in French oak barrels specially chosen to enhance the aromas and flavours of each grape variety.

It has heaps of charm, flavour and intensity. It has the volume, the purity of taste, the smoothness and elegance many other Malbecs just don’t have. Every mouthful is bursting with bright fruit and massive appeal. This is what real top-quality Malbec tastes like.

Made using top-notch fruit from sustainably-grown vineyards in the Jahant and Mokelumne River sub-regions of Lodi, this juicy new Pinot Noir from US legend Stephen Millier is our new fave ‘any-day-of-the-week’ red.

It walks the line between elegant French and swanky American in style. A hint of smokiness on the nose gives way to ripe red berry aromas and a supple, rounded palate loaded with oodles of ripe raspberries, freshly-picked cherries and mouth-watering plums. 

This wine debuted to historic fanfare across the pond, as US Angels almost cleared Stephen out in just 48 hours. It’s gone on to become an instant classic, with a 93% buy-it-again rating across the first two vintages and loads of Angels calling shotgun on the next lot… but not before we bagsied a share for UK Angels like you.

Cool nights on the slopes of Monte Agudo in southern Rioja meant Tom’s grapes could ripen nice and slowly to help bring about this fruity, juicy delight.

Stellenbosch is the beating heart of the South African wine industry. It has the perfect soils and climate to make some of the best Merlot on the planet.

Lucky for us, Johan’s connections there include some of South Africa’s winemaking top brass. So when a mate of his made a vintage of one of the country’s most sought after Merlots, Johan used all his charm (plus a dollop of Angel funding) to snaffle a parcel up for you.

From the first sip it’s velvety soft and silky, like proper Merlot should be. With big warm hugs of red fruit, a lovely lifted flavour and a smooth, rich finish.
