2020 Villa Maria 'EarthGarden' Pinot Noir Marlborough

Winemaker Notes:  This Pinot Noir expresses black fruits like boysenberries and blueberries with subtle floral notes and gentle acidity. The cocoa powder tannins and smoky toasty notes add complexity with a generous earthy textural finish.

This wine pairs well with New Zealand lamb, but rich enough to enhance slowcooked beef cheeks. For a plant-based alternative, try with mushroom or truffle flavored dishes to accentuate it’s earthy character.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Fresh lime, passion fruit, gooseberry and elderflower on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with sharp acidity and a vibrant, zesty palate."
