Villa Maria has farmed Pinot Noir organically since 2010 gaining Biogro certification in 2012. This selection of vineyards are vibrant gardens alive with wildflowers and full of life.

The 2021 summer was dry with high sunshine hours during the day and the cooler nights that are typical for Marlborough. Vineyards: 36% Attorney, 19% Templar, 12% Sutherland (grower), 12% Belmonte (grower), 7% Fromm (grower).

Food Pairing: 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-accented dishes to accentuate it’s earthy character.
