The reds benefited from the cooling breezes typical of late September and early October, lending elegance and complexity to the wines. There is great depth in the all the wines this year, a result we feel is due the care we take in the vineyards.

Although our whites are renowned for our white wines are receiving more and more acclaim for our reds. Oz Clarke was very complimentary for our Domaine des Anges red 07 and the Guide de la Vallée du Rhone gave both our red 07 and Archange red 07 perfect five stars. You can see our press page for their reviews in full.

It was a winter to remember. Travelling in Ireland in November with Gary Gubbins of Red Nose Wines in Clonmel, Tipperary and Peter Boland of Cases in Galway, we various visited clients enjoying the wine while the weather was fine and clear. The day of my departure that changed dramatically with the countryside covered in a thick layer of snow. It was no Winter Wonderland, and it took two days to get back to the Domaine, the journey made more comfortable by the memory of the hospitality of both Gary and Peter.

But the experience of the snow in Ireland was a good preparation for my visit to Highlife Ski Ireland in the French Alps. Based in Morzine they have been providing our wine for the pleasure of their mainly Irish clients for the past eight years, it was a pleasure to be there once again, and the team looked after me memorably me on my visit.

Now spring is here we will be buzzing around like busy bees between vineyards, winery and clients. It is a hectic but rewarding lifestyle, which results in the pleasure that our supporters, take in savouring the wines of Domaine des Anges.
