Officially rather good
Silver medal, 93 points at the International Wine Challenge, judged blind by Masters of Wine.
The judges’ note: “pale salmon pink, with fresh watermelon and clean, crisp acidity, an elegant, moreish, easy drinking style”. Which is exactly the wine we set out to make.

Same category. Half the price. A medal.
Award-winning, not just well-branded
A room full of Masters of Wine tasted it blind and gave it a Silver medal with 93 points. No charm offensive, just the wine in a glass.
£11.99, not £20+
Same pale, dry Provence style you already reach for, at a price that lets you open one on a Tuesday. £69.99 for a case of six if you're stocking up.
Sisters, cans, and a Glitzy Wine Bag
Two sisters, one wine, three formats: 750ml bottle, 250ml cans for picnics and hen dos, and the rhinestone Luxury Gift Set at £28.50. Versatility Whispering Angel doesn't do.
The label, up close
What you’re actually pouring.
Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah from the IGP Méditerranée region. 12.5% ABV. Pale salmon in the glass, dry on the palate, with fresh watermelon and clean, crisp acidity. The judges called it “an elegant, moreish, easy drinking style”. We’d agree.
Same accessible-luxury category as Whispering Angel. Different label, different price, same Friday-night job.
