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. — a month ago
They say 6 of every 10 Michelin star restaurants in Spain carry wine by this producer. Can’t really confirm that, but I can tell you: it doesn’t just sit in your glass; it transports you. This isn’t a wine for sipping in sterile silence. It’s for spilling on a sun-drenched table, between bites of pulpo a la gallega and the laughter of people who know how to live. It’s Galicia in liquid form—wild, rugged, and unapologetically itself.
There’s a sharp, bracing acidity that wakes you up like a cold Atlantic plunge. Then come the flavors: lemon zest, green apple, and maybe a hint of peach that’s just ripe enough to make you pause. Underneath it all, there’s that minerality—like licking a rock (the good kind). It’s clean, it’s crisp, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Orange blossom, citrus and minerals aromas. A little tangy acidity with a soft finish. Good by itself and with food. — 3 months ago
Works nicely with fish - strong and lime-y with a hint of vanilla, reminded my of an orange wine without a slightly bitter finish — 7 months ago
