Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Grigio 2020

This Pinot Grigio has fresh and intense aromatics of pear, red apple and honeysuckle, leading to a rich and textured mouthfeel and a delicious off-dry finish.

This wine consists of a variety of parcels blended from different vineyard sites across several key regions. The warmer Gisborne region provides ripe fruit with soft acidity and the South Island provides freshness and aromatics.

The fruit is gently pressed and the juice settled and clarified prior to cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected aromatic yeast strains. A brief period of yeast lees ageing follows prior to blending and preparation for bottling.
