Vintage Report
The 2020 harvest in New Zealand has been rated 84 points, which stands for above-average to excellent quality. The wines from this vintage mature early and are immediately accessible.
Although Pinot Noir originated in Europe, it also thrives in New Zealand's soil. The climate is ideal for this distinctive grape. Cold nights and warm days characterize the New Zealand climate, making it the perfect growing environment for Pinot Noir. Only the finest grapes are hand-picked and used for this Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir. After a delicate pressing, this top-quality Villa Maria wine undergoes a light oak aging process. This gives this New Zealand wine more power, richness, and depth than its younger sibling, the Villa Maria Pinot Noir Private Bin. This successful wine is a must-try for any Pinot Noir fan.
What a feast this Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir is
The party begins the moment you open this New Zealand wine. A sultry, generous aroma greets you. The black fruit, typical of a Pinot Noir, is clearly present. Black currants, cherries, and the light, subtle aroma of blackberries. Thanks to the oak aging, you also smell a hint of spice, a soft pepper, and cloves. Your mouth is already watering. Take a sip, and you'll be surprised. It's almost unbelievable how robust and rich this Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir is. Conversely, the tannins are velvety smooth, and the wine is incredibly soft. It's almost unbelievable how light this wine is on the palate. If you're looking for a great Pinot Noir, this is the perfect wine for you!Product details
