Expected Better

This review is for the 2011 vintage

I found this wine to be a bit disappointing. The bouquet is lovely and at first it seems like a beautiful wine but then tails off. It complemented pork with a creamy cider sauce quite well but it did not live up to expectations.

We came across this wine on a visit to Spain many years ago. It is light and fruity and very easy to drink with or without a meal. Definitely a favorite!

This wine is very good, fresh and smooth. Good for daily drinking because it has a reduced alcohol content.

A nice wine for everyday Drinking

By Rumpy

Have been drinking Vina Sol for over 30 years and the quality has remained consistent over the years. A lovely dry wine which goes well with a wide range of foods but good as an every day white wine. Nothing fancy just a nice wine. My daughter loves it so much she wanted it served at her wedding last year.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

I have had Torres red wines before and they were OK, but this white is thin, tasteless and slightly "petillant". Totally unsuitable to drink with food, only fit to drink in the hot afternoon sun as a cooler. I would advise against buying any of this.

A standard

By Geedubb

This review is for the 2011 vintage

This wine is a lovely choice to accompany food. It has a distinctive flavour, not as heavy as Chardonnay or as flowery as Sauvignon. It also is not too alcoholic at 11% , another factor that makes it good with food. And it is always a lovely reminder of holidays in Spain.

I've never really thought too highly about Spanish wine but reading the good reviews about this one I thought i'd give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is and for the price i'd certainly recommend it.

Vina Sol citrony quaffer

By thomo
21 February 2013
Explorer
Female, aged 45-54

I have been buying Via Sol for a number of years now. The quality of Miguel Torres wines remain good to excellent, made with both local grapes (Parellada, Tempranillo) and international varieties. Vina Sol remains a firm favourite, light, dry, and refreshing with a citrony finish. Highly recommended.

A delightful white white with fruity zest. So easy to drink on it's own or with salad, chicken and fish. Can drink it again and again!

Still a favourite

By Loveitall

This review is for the 2011 vintage

This wine is all over Europe. It's yum, very fruit driven but with more complexity than the price suggests. Good if you like the flavour of Sauvingnon but want something less acidic. The price is usually £6 odd but Tesco does some very good deals. Stock up!!

A great everyday and all day wine

By

Explorer
Male, aged 55-64

This review is for the 2010 vintage

This wine is extremely popular in Spain and gets many good reviews in the UK. It is really a good everyday drink and partners with foods well. The price is highly volatile though and is often marked up high to offer as a "discount" further on in time. I purchased this from TESCO at a price of £3.71 per bottle in one of their deals. That is a very good price when you consider that they sometimes put it on their shelves at around the £6.50 plus mark. If you can get it under a fiver it's well worth it. Too much more and it's not!

This is staple in our house for friends that drop by that you want to share a glass with, while you catch up. A real crowd pleaser that everyone enjoys.

I first discovered Vina Sol when I went to Spain to a friends apartment, she introduced me to this super wine! That was over 14 years ago so I can safely say that I am THE expert when it comes to this lovely light wine. Suitable for any occasion or just to glug......wonderful

By Studs

A really fruity wine from Miguel Torres which is truly under-rated. It's especially good with fish but can be enjoyed with any food or simply on its own. A good value Spanish wine which can be enjoyed every day.

Super wine!

By 686pyp

This is a very clean and fresh easy drinking wine which would be perfect when wine needs to flow at parties and BBQs. Apples and pineapples come to mind but not too fruity like the new world wines. I would highly recommend. I first came across the wine on holiday in Marbella and have been drinking it ever since. The Spanish serve it in most of their bars and restaurants. Enjoy!

Reliable light well balanced wine

By Woodrow

I've bought this wine for many years. It seems to go with everything and it's not too strong in alcohol (11%). Just the right balance of fruitiness without being acidic.

By Wilco224

Found this little Torres Vineyard gem in Mallorca a few years ago and have kept well stocked up with it in the UK ever since! Light, fruity and complimentary to most meals. Is great to just to chill and socialise with and has never given me a headache. Comparable with a light Pinot Grigio and I would recommend over a heavy Sauvignon Blanc any day.

This is the wine that I usually drink in Spain. You can rely on it. The thing that puzzles me is that wether I am in Malaga or Manchester I find this wine on the shelf. it seems to be a great traveller.
