Sunny Hawke’s Bay ripened Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit have been blended to create a wine full of cherries, berries, plums, vanilla and spice, all lovingly assembled. As a firm advocate of sustainable farming, they take conscious steps towards zero waste, reducing carbon emissions, transitioning their vineyards to produce organic wines. Displaying a rich ruby red robe with shiny dark red reflections, the nose evinces an expressive bouquet punctuated by black currant & juicy cherry aromas with hints of cedar wood.
Tasting notes:
A rich mouthfeel balanced with supple tannins leads to a deliciously smooth finish. When you taste Villa Maria wines, you taste the care they put into the soil & the tending of the vines, the careful handling of the fruit produced, and the respect for their relationship with the land. On the palate, the red blend reveals an abundance of ripe cassis fruit, cedarwood spice, fine grained tannins leading to a soft, smooth, and lengthy finish.
