Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Your golden girl's sunshine in a bottle
-
If anywhere can provide an abundance of warmth and sunshine to ripen Merlot grapes optimally, and highlight its trademark ripe berry flavours, it’s the Western Cape.
-
Winemaker of the Decade, Carmen Stevens hand-picked the juiciest, ripest fruits from four distinct vineyard blocks in Paarl, Wellington, Swartland and Stellenbosch.
-
Each region has left its mark, resulting in a round and complex wine. For two of the blocks, Carmen left the grapes on the vine for an extra two weeks, to encourage ripe, juicy flavours. Thanks to some five-star oak treatment, this fresh Merlot has a silky-smooth finish

Food match
I prepared a special open sandwich to have with this wine and it just worked beautifully. Lightly toasted ciabatta slice,I added virgin olive oil to a lovely gorgonzola cheese, topped with rocket and avocado. Finish off with some sea salt,a squeeze of lemon and some ripe raspberries. Looks impressive and just works with all the layers and even better with the Merlot! Enjoy!!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Carmen Stevens
- From humble roots, Carmen blazed a trail, to become head winemaker at a prestigious winery in South Africa. Her wines won medals by the truckload, yet she couldn’t even get a bank overdraft to start her own business.
- That was until Angel funding allowed her to finally fulfil her dream of setting up her own winery. Carmen has gone from strength to strength ever since, winning countless awards (including being voted your Winemaker of the Decade!)
- With your support, coupled with her sheer passion and determination, Carmen is helping to create a better future for thousands of hungry South African children thanks to Angel donations.
