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
Top-quality California Chardonnay from a rising star region
-
Petaluma Gap, a cooler climate region at the southern end of Sonoma County, is a rising star for producing world-class Chardonnay. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay, it’s strongly influenced by foggy mornings, sunny days, windy afternoons, and cool nights. The perfect conditions for producing high-quality Chardonnay.
-
Matt sourced grapes from four top-notch vineyards that provide a different expression based on location, topography, and soil type. The grapes were hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and then barrel fermented in seasoned French Oak and sur-lie aged, to create interesting nuances, aromas, flavours, and mouthfeel.
-
Lemon yellow in appearance, the wine has classic citrus, stone, and tropical fruit notes, with complexities of spice, marshmallow, and creme brûlée. As it’s a Chardonnay, make sure to take it out of the fridge just before serving. Allowing the wine to warm slightly will make for the fullest expression of aromas and flavours.
Best before
The wine was crafted to drink over the next couple of years but will age longer for those looking for more bottle complexity.
