Product description
Angeline Vineyards is a renowned California wine brand, founded in 1990 by Courtney Benham, whose philosophy from the very beginning has been to create wines with a pure, varietal character.The vineyard is located in the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, where the cool climate and morning fog are ideal for producing elegant Pinot Noir and distinctive Chardonnay.Angeline is headquartered at a historic estate on Laguna Road in Santa Rosa, whose winemaking traditions date back to 1881, making it one of the oldest operating wineries in the region.
The brand's portfolio includes a wide range of wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are made from grapes sourced from California's finest appellations, such as Mendocino and the Central Coast.Angeline's winemaking style is based on the precise selection of grapes and careful aging in French oak barrels, chosen to highlight the character of the terroir.The winery places great emphasis on sustainable production, avoiding excessive intervention in the winemaking process in order to capture the authenticity of the grape variety and the terroir.
An interesting fact is that Angeline’s current location was previously known as Twin Fir and later as Martini & Prati Winery, allowing the winery to combine the rich heritage of California winemaking with a modern oenological approach.Angeline Vineyards is now regarded as a producer of high-quality, exceptionally affordable wines, offering labels for both everyday consumers and more discerning enthusiasts of the California style.
