ACCOLADES


The Wait Was Worth It… We live with our wines for up to two years before the first cork is pulled. We harvest the grapes and age the wine anywhere from several months for lighter whites to 19 months for heavier reds. It can be several more months before the wine is released for consumption. So, after all that time and effort, it is always gratifying to receive positive feedback from our friends as well as the wine competitions and wine media. On that note, we are excited to report that our 2006 Syrée recently earned


“Best Rhône Varietal Blend of California” and “Best of Class South-Central Coast Appellation” at the 2009 California State Fair. This same wine was awarded 91 points by Connoisseur’s Guide, which called it a “larger-than-life bottling”. Meanwhile, our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc and 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon each earned 90 points from the Wine Enthusiast. Lastly, our 2007 RED4 was named a “Best Buy” in Wine & Spirits Magazine and also received gold medals at the 2009 West Coast Wine Competition, the 2009 Orange County Fair Wine Competition and the 2009 Central Coast Wine Competition.

ABOUT VINA ROBLES We craft wines that represent a stylistic bridge between the Old and New worlds, capturing the finesse associated with European wines while celebrating the bold natural flavors of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles. Here, proprietor Hans Nef and winemaker Matthias Gubler bring their Swiss heritage to California’s Central Coast, where they aim to unite the best of both experiences. Our wines are available across the United States and overseas, and can be enjoyed at our hospitality center in the heart of the Paso Robles wine country. Please visit us soon to taste the Vina Robles difference.
