2020 Villa Maria 'EarthGarden' Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Organically grown with wildflower gardens between the vineyard rows and regenerative viticulture to keep New Zealand’s soils healthy and ecosystems thriving. EarthGarden Pinot Noir is bursting with flavour as nature intended. An earthy, dark and brooding Pinot Noir brimming with the complexity and character of our organically grown Marlborough vineyards. This Pinot Noir expresses black fruits like boysenberries and blueberries with subtle floral notes and gentle acidity. The cocoa powder tannins and smoky toasty notes add complexity with a generous earthy textural finish. 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.
