The VN is named after a style of wine called vinel-lo, a low-alcohol table wine made with grape pomace. 

Grapes are biodynamically farmed and harvesting is done by hand. Native yeasts are used in the fermentation. The malolactic fermentation is spontaneous, with native bacteria. Before it is bottled, is left to stand for 7 months in stainless steel deposits. No added sulfur. 

This wine drinks like a light Jura red. It is juicy, fruity and fresh, with an explosion of aromas on the nose. Tangy, bright, and earthy, with a long, fluid finish. Delicious lightly chilled.
