About the wine
.
- Charles Simpson's speciality is taking well know grape vareities in his chosen area of the Languedoc and giving them a little bit of a twist.
- This pure Syrah has all the plummy, jammy fruit flavours that you would expect from a juicy French Syrah, but also has a streak of licorice and smokey oak that you'd expect would be more at home on a top class Rhone red. The combination works, perfectly as does the price tag!
- Take a duck, crisp roast it and tuck in with a bottle of this. Bloomin' marvellous.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Charles and Ruth Simpson
- In 2002, Charles & Ruth took a leap into the unknown. They quit their dull, corporate jobs. Hopped on the first plane to France. And bought up their own little patch of grape-growing land in Southern France.
- It turned out to be an inspired move. Since then their delicious, Angel-exclusive wines haven’t stopped scooping IWC and Decanter World Wine Awards and rave reviews from wine-critic royalty.
- Not content to rest on their laurels in France, they set their sights on another opportunity, making English wine in Blighty. Your backing also gave them the confidence to do just that! In 2014 they returned to their roots and planted their first English vineyard near Canterbury.
