About the wine
Handcrafted small batch McLaren delight
- With grapes from 25 and 85 year old vines in the mix, this is a serious drop. A genuinely handcrafted small batch wine using 10% whole bunches for extra punch. The fruit was amazing and really shines in the finished wine.
- Dive into its purple haze for a whiff of raspberry spice. Velvety and long on the tongue, it’s incredibly moreish - bursting with raspberry and plum flavours and a medium body.
- This is a rare gem for sure with only 6,000 bottles produced. Get in quick if you want to find out what an Aussie Grenache can be in the hands of a master of his craft!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Geoff Thompson
The first winemaker in his family, Geoff got to grips with grapes in 2002 and left a promising career in photographic science to do something he was passionate about. Hard work and enviable talent saw him work his way up the wine-stained ladder to Senior Winemaker at the Tahbilk Group in Victoria, in charge of more than a million cases a year!
Building a reputation as a master blender, Geoff won a ton of gold medals and trophies for his wines - and developed an itch to branch out on his own, back in his McLaren Vale homeland. Angels helped him scratch it in 2013 when a phone call in a car park kicked off his dream to create wines under his own label for them!
With his winemaking wizardry and access to some of the best grapes in the country, Geoff has been wowing Angels with his sensational South Australian wines ever since. He’s caught the eye of the critics too. In 2022, his winery was awarded 4.5 stars in the iconic Halliday wine companion.
