Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir is a premium New Zealand Pinot Noir from the estate’s Reserve range. From carefully selected vineyard blocks, the fruit is vinified with restrained extraction and given time in French oak to develop depth and nuance. The result is a fragrant red-fruited wine with bright acidity, silky tannins, and a refined, food-friendly finish that gains complexity with age.
