About the wine
Juicy, refined and famously smooth -- this luscious red is Angel funding at its very finest
- Velvety smooth and chock-full of thick dark cherry flavors, Stephen’s Merlot is a wildly captivating red – and at just $10 a pop, it won’t hang around for long...
- Thanks to a picture-perfect 2019 growing season, Stephen had the luxury of leaving his Merlot grapes on the vines just a little longer than normal, letting them develop BIG concentrated flavors and a little extra oomph, just for you.
- This is the kind of meaty red wine you want to guzzle while tucking into homemade pizzas. Whether you’re going with spicy Italian sausage, or salt-laced anchovies, it’s gotta be a slice in one hand, Stephen’s Merlot in the other.
Best before
This Merlot will be stunning on arrival, but if you choose to age it for a few extra months or even years, Stephen says you'll be rewarded by an even deeper, more complex set of flavors.
Serving advice
Please give the wine about 20-30 minutes to breathe after first opening your bottle.
Food match
Stephen's personal favorite food pairing with this Merlot is an anchovy-topped homemade pizza, though he says any toppings of your choice will do.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Stephen Millier
- Stephen is no stranger to gold medals, but usually his prestigious employers are the only ones in the limelight.
- We offered Stephen some Angel funding to set aside some of his favorites wines and vineyards to make a special range with his name on the label just for us, and he jumped at the opportunity.
- If you like underdogs, Stephen's your man. He will find the over-looked and under-appreciated and he will take precious care to make sure they grow into big, beautiful wines that deserve more attention.
