About the wine
Bold, juicy Portuguese-inspired red blend from the heart of California Gold Country
- This refined, luscious red blend is an elegant mix of powerful dark fruit flavors with a soft, silky finish – it’s half Touriga Nacional, half Tempranillo and 100% irresistible.
- Thanks to your funding, Ana combined the best parts of Portugal and California – the two wine regions she knows best – blending her Portuguese roots with her expertise as a master California winemaker. The result is this rare, stunning red, exclusively made for Angels like you!
- “This is the kind of red blend that Angels will love to drink with a great meal,” Ana says, “or just sip all night long!”
Best before
This wine can be enjoyed right away, but will also age very nicely over the next 8-10 years. However, if you choose to enjoy it now, you're in for a treat. But please be sure to decant the wine for 1 hour before drinking it.
Serving advice
As a young red wine, please be sure to let it breathe before enjoying it. I recommend opening it 1-2 hours before consumption. Another great option is to either decant it or to have the wine go through an aerator. But please pour yourself a glass while you wait - it's really fun to sip the wine while you wait, and to see how it changes in the glass.
Food match
Any Italian inspired dishes will pair beautifully with this red blend, particularly red sauce based. I'm thinking Bolognese with a crunchy piece of bread. Pizza is also on top of my list, particularly a "grown-up pizza" (a.k.a. gourmet pizza!). But a pepperoni will also do in a crunch! I also love an elaborate meat cannelloni, as it brings me back to Sunday lunches with my family (it is one of my favorite dishes!). I recently tried it with a homemade roasted chicken and the paring was perfect. Simple Sunday dinner!!
