Reviews and Ratings

The intentional blending in of Muscat plus a noticeable bit of sweetness on the palate make Va de Vi a different wine from the traditional French model of crackling austerity. This one is far more of a solo sipper or a mate to Asian or savory bits, and as such, its mix of bright acidity with pear and green apple fruitiness makes it unique in its own right. It is aromatic, energetic and full of creamy bubbles on the palate – and so easy to enjoy. Score: 89 Source: Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wines
