Values are typical for dry wine and naturally vary by vintage. Wine contains alcohol; please enjoy responsibly.
These figures are a guide, not a guarantee. Every VINEA wine is grown and made by hand in small lots — never industrially standardised — so each vintage, and even each bottle, differs a little. That quiet variation is exactly the point.
