About the wine
Classic Barossa Shiraz
- Sourced from 3 separate blocks of Shiraz to give the finished wine the right balance of powerful and elegance. “In my opinion, 2021 was the best vintage since 2002 for red wine, and particularly Shiraz.” Josh tell us.
- Josh set about capturing those wonderful fruit characters and flavours in the winery using a minimal intervention style and native yeast (from the grapes). 15 months in oak barrels finished the job and the wine was bottled unfiltered.
- Look out for the mocha, raspberry, blueberry presence with a shake of spice. Richly layered with length and freshness, this is a classic Barossa Shiraz that over delivers in quality for the price!
Best before
I make all of my wines approachable as young wines, so this is perfect for drinking now if you enjoy fruit forward styles of Shiraz. If you prefer more savoury, complex wines, then this wine will benefit from 5-10 years in the cellar.
Serving advice
If you simply can't wait years to open the bottle, pop it in a decanter for an hour and enjoy!
Food match
You can't go past a decent cut of red meat from your local butcher with a bottle of Shiraz.
We have a great selection of meat at our local supermarket, and we tend to gravitate towards a chef''s cut rump. They are a whopping 1.2-1.5kg here, so we often invite friends around to help us out.
My wife, Ellen cooks some mean roast potatoes, and can make a great calabrese salad made up of ripe tomato slices, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves.
Top the steak off with a green sauce made up of fresh garlic, flat leaf parsley, olive oil and a decent pinch of salt. Blitz it all up and spread it over your steak. Enjoy!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Josh Pfeiffer
- When the pandemic left Josh’s family wines in need of new homes, Angels came to the rescue and scooped them up. His brush with Naked freedom was enough to make him want to stay, and it was a special day when Angels welcomed him to the family for good!
- Josh is a talented winemaker with four generations of Barossa grape-growers blood flowing through his veins. He’s taking a fresh approach to traditional wines, backed by barrels of passion and industry know-how from iconic wineries.
- From growing up on a Penfolds vineyard to working at Henschke and helping put his family winery on the map, it’s no surprise he landed a spot on the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine list - three years in a row. What a rockstar!
