✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Villa Maria, founded in 1961 by Sir George Fistonich, stands as a cornerstone of New Zealand's modern winemaking legacy. The Cellar Selection Pinot Noir represents a curated expression of Marlborough's diverse sub-regions, primarily sourcing fruit from the clay-rich soils of the Southern Valleys and the stony alluvial soils of the Wairau Valley. This geographical tapestry imparts both rich dark cherry fruit and elegant structural acidity. Traditionally fermented in open-top vessels with regular plunging to gently extract color and tannins, the wine is aged in French oak barriques. The result is a Pinot Noir that beautifully balances vibrant red fruit aromas with subtle savory undertones, wild herbs, and a touch of spicy oak, embodying the pioneering spirit of one of New Zealand's most awarded wineries.
