VVINES is a virtual winery, so we unfortunately don’t have a place to visit us. We partner with top globally-acclaimed winemakers to craft exceptional wines that over-deliver quality for value. No fancy chateau here!
We use age-old winemaking and viticulture techniques, coupled with modern technology, such as optical grape sorting and concrete fermenters to give you outstanding quality for value.
R WINEMAKERS
Our French Rrosé wines are crafted by award-winning winemakers Gregory Hecht & François Bannier, from H&B Selection. Gregory & François consistently produce 90 Point+ Rosé wines throughout Côtes de Provence and Languedoc in France.
Our California wines are crafted under the watchful eye of acclaimed winemaker Matt Iaconis.
We value our winemaker partners for turning that quality fruit into wines that offer exceptional quality for value.
R WINES
Unfortunately, our wines are not certified Organic, however our partner vineyards are sustainably farmed, and our growers use the utmost care to protect our natural vineyards and habitats.
We believe in sustainability and minimizing our ecological footprint.
Our partner vineyards are sustainably farmed. We use drip irrigation to control vine growth and advance ripening. In our partner vineyards, unmanicured cover crops with a mix of grass, clover, and flowers are a soft approach to weed control, erosion, encourage beneficial insects, and enrich soil with nitrogen and other important nutrients.
Yes – all of our wines are 100% gluten-free.
All of R Wines are Vegetarian, however we do not have Vegan certification.
We do not use any dairy or animal by-products during the filtering and fining process (this is the process at bottling to make the wine bright and clear and to get rid of the “hazy” appearance of the wine caused by natural protein, tartrates, tannins, and phenolics)
We unfortunately do not have Kosher certification.
