About the wine
Top notch regional South Aussie white
- Premium quality grapes from Langhorne Creek & Adelaide Hills were handpicked and transported gently to the winery for their transformation into sensationally sippable wine. The batches were fermented separately and blended by one of the best in the business.
- It's a top notch regional Pinot Gris carrying the scent of apples and pears with a subtle spice note. Bone dry on the tongue but with a definite generosity and viscosity that finishes with superb length and a silky finish.
- The elegance and balance of this wine is outstanding - no doubt due to premium grapes and Geoff’s handcrafted genius. Made for alfresco dining with great company and delicious food. Stock up!
Best before
I prefer to enjoy in the first 1-2 years - however, 3-5 years in suitable cellaring conditions - for the development of complexity amd further texture if you like
Serving advice
Serve chilled, but enjoy the aromatics and flavour change/intensity and texture as the wine warms from a fridge temp of 4C up to 7-8C
Many whites are consumed too cold and they lack texture and flavour with pronounced acid when too chilled
Food match
Spicy Thai & Vietnamese dishes
Anitpasto platter - chilli/garlic green olives, charcuterie, cheese - especially good with Manchego cheese (Spanish sheep's milk cheese)
Excellent with seafood too - Beer battered SA Whiting, leafy green salad with a vinaigrette dressing and crispy pomme frites.

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.
