About the wine
Warm, Mediterranean wine from the foothills in Gigondas, the most famous Rhone village outside Chateauneuf du Pape.
- Having worked in the Rhône Valley for years Ben knows some really top-notch grape growers. He'd always dreamt of making a world-class Côtes du Rhône, and he needed Angels to back the project.
- Back in 2011, thousands of Angels voted and crowned him the UK 2011 Winemaker of the Year. He used the prize money (and his expertise) to source the grapes to bring you this deep, ripe red.
- Perfumed, silky smooth and dangerously easy to drink – this crowd-pleasing wonder is perfect for drinking right now.
