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
If you think Merlot is too light - try this iron fist in a velvet glove
- This wine is a blend of Merlot from three different vineyards - two of which are from the family vineyard, and one from Cheshunt, in the upper reaches of the King Valley. Once the grapes reach the winery they get the Rolls Royce treatment! Each parcel was fermented and matured separately in 225 litre French oak barriques before blending and bottling.
- My Diamond range are Angel favourites, and my Diamond Merlot sure packs a punch in the flavour department - you will be hard pressed to find another Merlot for less than £20 that can compete with its depth and fullness of flavour, which is the beauty of how Angel support benefits everyone.
- My Diamond Merlot has a lovely dark red/purple colour with lovely dark cherry and berry, dried herb and toasty new oak aromas, and ripe berry fruit flavours that move into milk chocolate and red berries, with rich tannins to help with the length.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jen Pfeiffer
- Back in 2012, during a trip to Oz, Sam Plunkett insisted we paid a visit to his friend ‘the girl with the superstar palate’. The bad news was she was busy judging at a wine show but we were patient and the second we finally got to meet Jen, we just knew it was meant to be.
- Energetic, passionate and oh-so talented, Jen grew up in a winemaking family and fell in love with the industry from a young age! She travelled widely, learning her craft at many of the great wineries in France and Portugal before returning to the family winery with a desire to really push the boundaries
- Our ‘Rock it like a Redhead’ star has won hundreds of medals and was also crowned your Winemaker of the Year in 2015 so it’s safe to say she was definitely worth the wait!

Quite sweet at first sip but it rounded out after a bit of air.

G'day Emily,
Thanks for taking my Diamond Merlot out for a spin, I'm glad you enjoyed it, particularly after some breathing time. My Diamond Merlot is a full bodied red and it opens up beautifully with some breathing time, I recommend an hour or two in the decanter before serving to release all the complex aromas and flavours :-)
I hope you'll try more of my wines Emily, check out my range on my winemaker page, and while you're there, pop in a follow for me, I'll keep you posted on the goings on in my wine world.
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

Hi Jen ,sometimes the Naked website drives me crackers. I have just tried your excellent 2021 diamond Merlot. In previous posts i mentoned i was working my way through your entire Diamond range.
Tonight i tried your 2021 Merlot.
What a revelation ,tonight i paired it with an 8ozs prime fillet steak, and i guess most would have gone for a Shiraz/ syrah but wow this Merlot really worked so well. Reading your bottle notes ,i wish my pallette was educated enough to pick out the mulberries ,violets and spice. However ,polish,complexity & depth were there in abundance. I suspect many French growers would envy your rendition ,although ,would never admit it. Sorry about the rant regarding the Naked website ,i will phone them tomorrow ,as it might be my lack of literacy ,i am 75 but my tastebuds are about 45. Cheers Jen ,love all your posts/videos. When i was a teenager "fair dinkum" was a much used phrase ,not sure if it still applies ,but for this old guy ,it does.

G'day again Derek,
Websites are certainly not my area of expertise - wine definitely is!! I hope the team at Naked sorted you out with the former so we can get on with chatting about (and drinking!) the latter :-)
I'm THRILLED my Diamond Merlot was a revelation, and another winner from my Diamond range for you. It is certainly a Merlot with muscle and full bodied enough to pair well with a steak - delish!
Thank you for your fair dinkum review Derek, that expression works for me!!
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

Really fruity and fresh red. Deep summer fruit taste. Smooth and creamy. Summer pudding. Loved it.

G'day Stuart,
Lovely to hear from you again and thank you for the LOVE for my Diamond Merlot, I'm so pleased it hit the high notes for you. I love your description of Summer pudding, that is so evocative of the berry rich flavours of my Diamond Merlot, it is a really complex red, full bodied and generous on the palate, it often surprises Angels that it's Merlot :-)
I really appreciate your support of me and my wines Stuart, thanks for rocking it like a redhead!
Cheers, Jen.

Shared this with my Father in Law who knows a good wine when he samples one. We LOVED this, packed with flavour, smooth and it finishes full on the palette but without any harshness.
We both agreed that we'd be buying this again.

G'day Tom,
Lovely to hear from you again and thank you for taking my Diamond Merlot out for a spin, I'm delighted to hear you and your father-in-law enjoyed it. My Diamond wines are the jewels in my collection, and my Diamond Merlot is a full bodied, complex red - I call it a Merlot with muscle! It has wonderful mulberry, plum and brown spice flavours, a velvety texture and a long finish that goes on and on and on. Buying again is the best compliment you can pay me Tom :-) And if you enjoy aged reds, you can tuck my Diamond Merlot away for a few years to come - through to 2031.
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

G'day John,
WOO HOO!!! I'm rocking my happy dance for the Diamond Merlot love, thank you so much!! It is utterly delicious, with its full flavour and body, and velvety plush texture. Like you, I think it's pretty irresistible! I hope it will be back in your basket again soon John, and if you enjoy aged wines, you can certainly tuck this away for another 5-6 years.
I really appreciate your support of me and my wines, I hope we chat again soon as you try more of them!
Cheers, and rock it like a redhead, Jen.

Wow! This was an end of the evening 'one more glass' wine and we sped it through the aerator. Have added a bottle to the basket as if it's this nice as a quick drink we can imagine wonderful things from a longer decant.
