Perfect with iberico. We all liked this. Tätä voisi juoda vaikka jouluna kinkun kanssa. — 3 years ago
It’s hard to find fully shed classic Viura (white Rioja) anymore but old-school Lopez de Heredia clings to tradition. This wine, nearly 10 years old on release, is fascinating - aged to the point of considerable oxidation yet it retains its fruit ands acidity. Bruised apple, ripe pear, golden raisin, orange peel, flint, wet stones, and hay happily coexist with hazelnut, dried orange peel, coconut, baking spices ands more. The medium acidity is a firm foundation to a richly textured wine, Long finish too! — 23 days ago

Belle bouteille que ce Bosconia 2012. J'en prend une habitude de boire les Lopez de Heredia, Rosé, Blanc, Reserva, Gran Reserva tout y passe et tout est bon. Ce Bosconia ne fait pas exception, nez complexe d'épices, de cuir, bois, champignon. Bouche soyeuse, agréable aux tanins fondus. — a year ago

Angeleno Wine Company – White Field Blend 2019
Sierra Pelona Valley, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A truly unique white field blend made of 35% Modelo, 35% Loureiro, and 30% Treixadura—all Iberian-origin grapes grown in the high-desert terroir of Los Angeles County’s Sierra Pelona Valley. Angeleno Wine Company specializes in rare plantings and unusual blends, making this wine both distinctive and a conversation starter.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh and fragrant, with notes of citrus blossom, pear, green apple, quince, and subtle stone fruit, accented by herbal and mineral undertones. Loureiro and Treixadura bring floral lift and aromatic complexity, while Modelo (native to Spain) adds body and texture.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with brisk acidity, a touch of salinity, and a rounded finish. Clean, refreshing, and balanced, with enough texture to give it character beyond a simple “porch-pounder.”
Winemaking Notes
Hand-harvested and co-fermented to reflect the authentic field blend tradition. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves freshness, while sur lie aging adds weight and mouth-coating texture.
Food Pairing
Excellent with ceviche, grilled shrimp, sushi, tapas, or even Mediterranean mezze. A versatile white that shines with seafood and bright vegetarian dishes.
Verdict
A rare and exciting expression of Los Angeles terroir. Complex yet approachable, this wine highlights Angeleno’s adventurous spirit and celebrates unusual grapes in California winemaking. A hidden gem worth seeking out. — 2 months ago
