"This is seriously good. The beautifully lifted bouquet shows Gala apple, red cherry, citrus peel and subtle spice aromas, followed by a powerful yet elegant palate displaying excellent focus and persistency. Finely textured and brightly fruited, finishing splendidly long and satisfying" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2021

"Delicately-scented rosé with floral, strawberry and raspberry flavours. A hint of sweetness helps amplify the wine's flavours while promoting a smooth texture. A charming rosé" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021

"Aromas of red cherries and red papaya, apple and sweet cranberry. There’s a tart raspberry scent just before aromas of white clay begin to show. Fleshy, soft and silky textures on the palate with a core of red berry flavours, a touch of tropical and citrus layer in. Mineral, crisp and refreshing with a a fine lees texture. Balanced, well made and ready to drinking from purchase and through 2024" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2021

This wine has aromas of bright red cherries intermingled with delicate rose petals and fresh culinary herbs. The palate is bursting with ripe strawberries with a creamy texture on the finish.

The Attorney Vineyard is situated in the Southern Valleys sub-region of Marlborough, on a northern facing block on the dry foothills of the Wairau Valley. This sub-region receives minimal rainfall in the growing season and its deep clay soils provide perfect conditions to apply organic farming principles. Villa Maria began its organic program in 1999 and they achieved their first Biogro certification in 2007. The Attorney Vineyard was fully Biogro certified as organic in 2012.

A near-perfect growing season led up to 2020 harvest with fruit in pristine condition. The summer was dry with high sunshine hours during the day and the cooler nights that are typical for Marlborough. Yields were at their optimum level and the stable autumn weather allowed us to extend the hangtime of the fruit on the vines to achieve physiological ripeness.

Whole bunch pressed. 100% stainless steel fermentation with specially selected organically certified yeast strains. Carefully monitored 4-5 months on yeast lees to build creamy texture and palate weight.
