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
A masterful Grenache from McLaren Vale, made by a Master of Wine
- Gilo Old Vine Blewitt Springs Grenache is sourced from a number of old vine (70-80 year old) vineyards, all of which are bush trained and dry grown. The grapes are hand-picked so they can be treated much more gently.
- This 2023 vintage was the last of 3 'La Nina' years, which means a cooler climactic cycle for South Australia. This resulted in a cooler season with few of the heat spikes associated with a usual ripening period.
- The result is a beautifully balanced wine with great perfume and lovely structure. A wonderful array of red fruits, think redcurrant and pomegranate, coupled with warming North African spices.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Giles Cooke
- Giles spent the first 25 years of his career selling wine in the UK, before he took the plunge and headed to Australia to try his hand at winemaking.
- Turns out Giles was a natural. He knows exactly what UK wine drinkers like to drink, so his small-scale wines are made with passion and gut instinct, rather than following instructions, formulas or recipes.
- Giles, who is based in Edinburgh (he travels to Australia a few times a year to work his magic) is one of only 414 people in the world to hold the illustrious 'Master of Wine' qualification, the ultimate accolade in wine.
