About the wine
Fresh and fruity Chenin - a crowd favorite of over 11,000 Angels
- This Chenin is humming with fresh flavors of melon, citrusy key lime, tropical passionfruit and mango. This easy-going white wine is a staple if there ever was one.
- Your funding gives Richard first pick from grapes grown by a fourth-generation farming family in Clarksburg, California – it’s the cool-climate cousin of Lodi, with the perfect conditions for growing high-end Chenin.
- “Chenin Blanc is so pure and light with delicious fruit flavors and aromas,” Richard says. “It’s great on a hot day by the pool and is terrific with a wide variety of foods.”
Best before
This wine will age well, but it's wonderful in its youth and I plan to keep making it, so drink up!
Serving advice
Twist counter clockwise, glass optional.
Food match
It's great with a beet salad tossed in a Champagne vinaigrette with goat cheese and toasted and chopped almonds.

Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
