About the wine
Old-vine Carignan from a registered historic vineyard in Northern California
-
Carignan usually calls Spain, France and Italy home, but when it's grown stateside with ample sunshine, this red is a mind blowing, food-friendly wine exploding with flavors like black cherry, blueberry and a touch of savory spice.
-
Macario long dreamed of making wine from this sandy-soil vineyard planted in the 1890s by Azorean immigrants. Angels made his dream happen! With your funding, he secured enough fruit to make a special limited-release of single-variety old-vine Carignan.
-
Other wines from the Evangelho vineyard are famous – and sell for famous prices. This is a steal of a deal for a rare single-vineyard red – and it’s worth the investment!
Best before
This needs time. It is a baby and will be best in about 2-3 years.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Macario Montoya
Macario worked his way up from cellar worker to Napa and Sonoma star winemaker – leading by example for other Latino winemakers.
While Macario is Napa-based, he’s garnered attention for his Mediterranean-style wines in California – his Lodi blends and especially his Macario Montoya reds from Contra Costa’s heritage vineyards – whose label depiction of the old vines shows off the artistic talents of his brother, Maceo Montoya.
With your support, Macario’s reach knows no bounds – he is Sin Fronteras – without borders. He gives back tenfold, creating opportunities for underrepresented Latino winemakers like him through The Montoya Opportunity Fund
