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
Elevated Cab from Stellenbosch's mountainous vineyards
- Francois cut his teeth in Stellenbosch’s mountainous subregions working with the vines growing on their stark slopes.
- He’s gone back to his roots to make you a classical, linear wine with a tightly structured backbone, dressed with elegant and nuanced fruit flavours.
- You can expect distinct cassis and cigar box notes offset by a vibrant freshness. All this combined makes this bottle the perfect candidate to lie down for a good few years, allowing all of those glorious refined flavours to unfurl to their fullest extent.
Best before
Drink now until 2030
Serving advice
Decanting is not required, but it would not do any harm.
Food match
This wine is partial to protein pairing, but of late I have found enjoyment in drinking Cabernet slightly chilled with robust salads as it stands up
well against acidity.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Francois Haasbroek
- Francois has worked for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Dry Creek Vineyard in Sonoma, Jackson Estate in Marlborough, and Waterford Estate back home in Stellenbosch.
- His real passion however, is seeking out under the radar parcels to craft boutique wines - so in 2014 he ditched the high-flying day job to turn his hand to making the next great underground wine.
- Francois now focuses exclusively on creating high quality, single-vineyard wines from small-scale sites hidden away all over the Western Cape. He built long lasting relationships with the growers and made wines true to their site of origin, with as little human jiggery-pokery as possible.
