94/100 | Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
At Advintage we have never been enamoured with orange wines, but this delicious release from Valli has made us eat our words. Dry and savoury and lightly tannic, this wine clearly plays at the orange end of the scale but the palate has lovely fresh fruit characters to balance the equation. A striking, thought provoking wine that will go brilliantly with a diverse range of foods.

Jen Parr writes "“The colour of the wine comes from the grape skins and the semi-oxidative handling. This vintage has a pale peach hue. There are immediately inviting aromas of apricot, peach, lychee and orange peel, with wild sage and white blossom. The palate shows flavours of stone fruit, tangy citrus, and subtle spice. The mouthfeel is precise and silky with a lovely volume of fine tannin and lingering acidity. Delicious on its own, the Real McCoy shines brightest when paired with a wide array of dishes. We have discovered this is a great wine for cellaring as the evolution is slow and the wine continues to improve with time. I will keep bottles of this vintage in my personal cellar for 15+ years.”
