About the wine
.
- Grown on sandy loam soils over clay, the foothills above McLaren flat, where these vineyards are located provide moderate day time temperatures and cool nights which are ideal for producing an elegant style of merlot.
- Deep brick red in colour, this wine displays distinct aromas of dark cherries and ripe red fruits.
- Like the bouquet, the fleshy palate shows up front fruit flavours enhanced by pleasant dark chocolate and a soft, velvety mouthfeel.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Hamish Maguire
- Hamish was born into a respected winemaking family and raised among the McLaren Vale vineyards. His passion for the industry isn’t just down to family ties though, vintages in traditional wineries in Europe sealed his grape-induced fate.
- Hamish's 'day job' is overseeing his successful family business — a much respected and awarded Mclaren Vale winery. But he's a visionary and a rebel at heart, so in 2012, he joined the Naked Wines family to make Angels his ‘passion’ wines — Engine Room.
- His Engine Room wines are a product of imagination and a willingness to be different. These skillful blends of traditional with ‘alternative’ varieties, coupled with Angel backing, gives Hamish a creative outlet from the typical winemaking of the region to create something new and exciting. And it's made him one of our most popular winemakers in the process!
