Truly noble is the grape, which is deemed hearty enough, healthy enough and holy enough to be brought to the new world along with the Spaniards in the 1500s. This divine grape would be cast throughout what would become Mexico and around each Mission - San Diego to Sonoma by Father Junipero Serra for the making of Sacramental wine. The true Sangre de Christo. But it’s a plain grape from Spain, so you rarely see the name. More often, the ‘mission’ of the sacred free run juice of the Mission grape is a marriage with Brandy to create Angelica, a sweet dessert wine I’m sure you’ll find pairs fine if you take the time.
