The result is a wine of remarkable elegance, showcasing vibrant red fruit flavors, subtle hints of spice, and a silky texture that lingers on the palate. This meticulously crafted Pinot Noir exemplifies Villa Maria's commitment to quality and excellence, inviting enthusiasts to savor the distinctive terroir of Marlborough with each sip.
