Natalie's Score: 87/100

A vidal spritz wine that's lightly effervescent and refreshing. Terrific vibrant aromas of lemon and lime with lots of mouth-watering acidity. Works well as a chilled aperitif or companion to seafood. Love the fact there's only 9% alcohol. Produced by Rockaway Vineyards.

Patio 9 2013 is a refreshing wine! Lemon and tropical fruit on the nose and palate. (89/100) Tasted July 14, 2014

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Light and lively. Colourless in the glass with evident mousse. Pleasant on the the nose with citrus, apple, stone fruit. Refreshing acidity. Delicate palate cleansing bubbles with flavours of white grapefruit,golden apple, minerality, sweet spice.
Short but pleasant finish. Scores points for value and typicity.
Perfect summer patio sipper or aperitif. Add in assorted cheeses and it's a party!
Tasted - July 2014

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Aromas of lemon, lime and light stonefruit; very bright. Flavour is pure, crisp lemon-lime with a long, clean finish. This is a pure patio wine for the summer, although it would go nicely with some lightly battered calamari any time of year as well.

Chris Coughlin - WSET level 3 grad rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Very pale lemon, some bubbles visible. Medium intensity aromas and flavours of: citrus, stone fruit(peach) and some pineapple. Nice little fizz on the palate makes for a great 1st or last glass of wine for the night.

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This Vidal spritzer is summer in a glass. Fun product with a nose of tropical fruit (litchee) and fizzy candy. Nice acidity. The fact that is is low in alchool, cheap and very original will make it the perfect pool party drink!
