Villa Maria PRIVATE BIN Chardonnay Marlborough NZ

Rich tropical fruit flavours with nicely balanced acidity. (12 x 75 cl)

Sourcing fruit from the high and low altitudes of the Marlborough region enables Villa Maria to make a Riesling that shows the attributes of both. The higher plains of the Awatere Valley contribute a pineapple influence while the old river bed of the Wairau Valley gives the floral and citrus notes. The wine has many layers of complexity. A lively wine with a refreshing just off dry finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Intense ripe herbaceous characters typical of this variety are apparent in the bouquet with a further hint of tropical fruit indicative of low cropping years. The palate is full with flavour and natural fruit acid that gives a zingy freshness and lingering palate. (6 x 75 cl)

There's a touch of sweetness here but the thing you notice is the piercing quality of the lime lemon fruit and the crisp acidity. (12 x 75 cl)

The first Rose for Villa Maria, this wine displays vibrant colour and aromatic floral notes. An off-dry wine with perfumed rose petal and ripe raspberry characters and a soft and mouth filling palate. To add complexity, the wine was allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation and a very small proportion of the blend was aged in oak. (6 x 75 cl)

An intense wine with aromas of citrus and sweet oak. The palate is full with grapefruit and subtle butterscotch and oak flavours combining to give good length and complexity. Ripe fruit is given weight by high alcohol and delicately balanced with soft acidity. (6 x 75 cl)
