Been looking forward to trying this Chilean project from the people at La Stoppa for some time; happy to report that despite being a bit brusk, this vino tinto delivers on the combination of high toned density of La Stoppa rossos and smokiness of old vine pais. — 5 years ago

Had La Macchiona as part of a wine pairing at Septime, so I had to grab a bottle from this producer when I saw it. Not sure what I expected but it was much richer, fuller, and sweeter than I thought. The sweetness slowly wore off giving way to ripe cherries and rhubarb as it opened. Stood up well to the Mediterranean food of all things we had with it and actually quite a nice compliment to it in many ways. Lacked some depth but primary characteristics were strong and carried this wine beyond my expectations. — 5 months ago
Fick dricka El Pison två dagar i rad av en slump! Kul! Men även denna bevisar tesen om att det här är bara att stoppa undan. Har samma ”pastilliga” karaktär med mörka bär och riktigt torr. Nästa El Pison jag dricker får vara lite äldre helst... — 5 years ago
Great wine - remind me of Austrian reds from blaufrankish by gut oggau - same tension and density. — 5 years ago
A very brave new offering at Il Barreto, Paddington for $175. Initial barnyard bouquet (mostly) blows off. A superb vintage wine at it’s peak. It is proving very hard to find at retail in this country.

Vej is not subtle about its affiliation with Orange. This sees a full 90 days of skin contact and reminds me of an equally polarizing wine - Ageno from La Stoppa. I believe they are both made from the same unique grape (unique from Malvasia at that).
If you like orange, if you like juicy hazy IPAs, if you like huge tannin, you’ll love Vej. Beautiful copper gold. Aromas of yeasty peach skin and spiced apricot. Bitter grapefruit and biscuit. — 5 years ago
