About the wine
Juicy, jaw-dropping Portuguese red steeped with rich, ripe character
- This rich, decadent Xisto is dripping with juicy fruit flavors like ripe dark cherry and plump blackberry all backed by a lush, mouth-filling smoothness that's endlessly satisfying.
- “Xisto” means “shale” in Portuguese, making this wine a savory shoutout to the Douro Valley’s soils and the pair of vineyards where the Quevedos sourced these pristine grapes. The shale soil reduces the yields per vine, which gives your winemakers more concentrated grapes with deeper layers of flavor.
- Because the Quevedos own most of the vineyards they source from, they’re able to handpick the grapes for wines like this lush red, make the wine in their own winery and bring it to Angels for a fraction of normal Douro prices.
Best before
Enjoy now or over the next 5 years.
Serving advice
Some Angels say that they like to open this wine one hour prior to drinking. I agree and that's a great ritual!
Food match
Roasted lamb with potatoes and vegetables.
Contains sulphites
