Cellar Select

2009 Marlborough Pinot Noir

The Villa Maria Cellar Select Pinot Noir from the 2009 vintage is a captivating expression of Marlborough's unique terroir. This wine features a beautiful red hue, enticing the senses even before the first sip. On the palate, it showcases a medium-bodied profile with vibrant acidity, ensuring a refreshing experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering delightful notes of ripe cherry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. Its moderate tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit, making it beautifully balanced. This dry and food-friendly wine is an exceptional choice to elevate any dining experience, particularly when paired with roasted meats or grilled vegetables.

Marlborough

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
