If you want to impress your Angeleno friends at the next dinner party, roll in with a bottle of 2021 Angeleno Gold Line and tell them you brought some something extremely local!
As if the wine wasn't delicious enough, the story is even more interesting. Made by the team of Jasper Dickson and Amy Luftig Vista, along with grower Juan Alonzo, the Angeleno Gold Line already has a cult following in Los Angeles and we're excited to offer the wines here at Mission!
2021 Angeleno Gold Line Skin Fermented White Wine $24.99
First off, this wine is actually made in Los Angeles County!! If you’ve ever been to Vasquez Rocks just east of Valencia (where they filmed Star Trek amongst other sci-fi classics), it’s a hidden spot in the west end of the Antelope Valley.
What's it made of? From a field blend of Treixadura, Godello, Loureiro, and Muscat, all the fruit is sourced from Alonso Family Vineyards in Agua Dulce. Fermented with the skins, this wine is dry, but fleshy, giving it the mouthfeel and texture of a fruity Chardonnay, but without the oak or the butteriness.
Organic and sustainably farmed, the wines are also naturally made and 100% vegan, but they're also clean and without the tartness and often funky flavors that are driving the natural wine movement. It's a perfect crossover for those who love aromatic Riesling or Muscat wines from Europe, but also want to support local farmers and growers. You’re going to love it.
