Taste Theory [#2] Beer

Occasionally, visitors of Via Vecchia Winery approach the tasting table with a desire to try our all natural wines but with little to no preference when provided four different options. There are some guests that initially know what they typically prefer, whereas others honestly mention that they have never really had a comparison opportunity or that they perhaps have never had wine at all


This theory is unique in the fact that it usually helps clarify which red is adventurous enough for you; a  known quality of natural wines is the vino vigor, so you can use your existent taste to favor something you may have not normally tried.

Individuals that enjoy darker Beers, like a Stout or a Porter, typically adore our Trouve. This is the boldest red wine Via Vecchia creates, being a Cabernet Franc Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend. A fantastic choice for cultivated palettes. Strong characteristics, yet nothing of excess.

This wine is true to heritage with a robust earthy flavour and exquisite dryness leaving nutty hints.

For those who drink Indian Pale Ales better known as IPA's, you will more than likely prefer Jorro-Ma to the other wines. This is a medium to bold red wine and the only Via Vecchia wine that is not blended because it's a straight Syrah. A delectable tingle is sure to be noticed when you consume this wine. Satisfaction of flavour without linger.

This wine offers an aroma that exemplifies its smooth yet rich earth taste with a distinct smokiness.

Sometimes this can differ, but if you fancy an Amber Beer, Adamo could be your wine. This is a Sangiovese Cabernet Franc blend, ranging from light to medium. We often call this the medium Cab, as it relates to Trouve in a much more subtle way. 

This wine has a unique spice, sometimes peppery, with a delightful acidity that is not overwhelming.

Choosing a Pale Lager probably suggests that you would like Trovato. A soft red wine blended from Sangiovese Pinot Noir varietals. This drink will flow seamlessly while leaving delicate floral notes.

This wine is incredibly smooth and can even be chilled to encourage a fruit-focused taste.
