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
Super premium Syrah from the Simpsons
Charles and Ruth's Sainte Rose vineyard is fast gaining a reputation for the immense quality of its Rhone reds. With heads turning left, right and centre, we thought we'd ask the Simpsons to make a wine that really highlights just how good these grapes are and make an Angel exclusive Anniversary wine.
This is seriously special stuff. The fruit is left on the vine for longer, achieving greater concentration. Each grape is gently hand picked, and only the ripest and cleanest fruit is selected before it’s treated to the gentlest of flavour extraction techniques. With your help the Simpsons have bought super high end French oak barrels to make for the perfect ageing process.
This anniversary blend is a statuesque, powerful and deeply flavoured wine with aromas of warm plums, blackberry and dried lavender. It's got bags of depth and concentration without the heaviness.

Serving advice
Decant 1 hour before serving. Serve at 18-20°C. Due to the minimal filtration to show its full potential, the wine may produce some sediment as it matures further in the bottle so decanting is recommended.
Food match
Go Vegan with lentil sloppy Joes! At Sainte Rose, Charles & Ruth sometimes see wild boar in the vineyards and this is the prize game for French 'chasseurs'. Roast wild boar is actually a wonderful pairing for this bold and powerful wine, as would any game or grilled red meat, seasoned with Mediterranean herbs.

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.
