About the wine
Perfectly blended gold medal GSM
-
A perfect harmony of ancient Grenache cozied up with Shiraz and Mourvedre from terrific low yielding vines, giving the wine amazing intensity and character.
-
It’s a beautiful example of the classic Southern Rhone blend — raspberry, plum, blackberry and spices wrapped up in each succulent sip. Not too heavy, not too light... and another gold medal winner.
- This is your one and only chance to try a premium wine we wouldn’t have got hold of under normal circumstances. Don’t hang about!
Best before

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Geoff Thompson
The first winemaker in his family, Geoff got to grips with grapes in 2002 and left a promising career in photographic science to do something he was passionate about. Hard work and enviable talent saw him work his way up the wine-stained ladder to Senior Winemaker at the Tahbilk Group in Victoria, in charge of more than a million cases a year!
Building a reputation as a master blender, Geoff won a ton of gold medals and trophies for his wines - and developed an itch to branch out on his own, back in his McLaren Vale homeland. Angels helped him scratch it in 2013 when a phone call in a car park kicked off his dream to create wines under his own label for them!
With his winemaking wizardry and access to some of the best grapes in the country, Geoff has been wowing Angels with his sensational South Australian wines ever since. He’s caught the eye of the critics too. In 2022, his winery was awarded 4.5 stars in the iconic Halliday wine companion.
