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.

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
Although Pinot Noir originated in Europe, it also thrives in New Zealand's soil. The climate is ideal for this distinctive grape.
