Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Grigio

Villa Maria Pinot Grigio Private Bin is a white wine from this winery's East Coast series. East Coast is a designation created to blend wines from the North Island with those from the South Island. This greatly benefits the Pinot Grigio grape. The North Island has a significantly warmer climate than the South Island, giving these grapes a much fuller fruit content. The South Island, on the other hand, produces good grapes with beautiful, fresh characteristics. In short, this is sure to be a perfect blend! Because the East Coast designation has been officially established, winemakers can utilize the best of both islands, and consumers immediately know what to expect.

Villa Maria Pinot Grigio from East Coast

The grapes for this delicious Pinot Grigio from Villa Maria come from Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, and Marlborough. Harvesting for this white wine takes place in mid-March and is done entirely by hand. A Pinot Grigio from New Zealand is unusual and therefore quite distinctive. The influence of the sea makes this Pinot Grigio from New Zealand quite surprising. Pinot Grigio, also known as Pinot Gris, has wonderful qualities that make for a very pleasant wine. The color is a beautiful golden yellow with a greenish sheen. The nose is full of aromas of ripe pear, honeysuckle, and raisins. The taste is very powerful, delicious, and seductive, with notes of melon, apricot, honey, and a lovely length. Powerful and generous, and as we expect from Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris, with a natural sweetness at the end.
