Wine Description
The Villa Maria Pinot Gris 'Private Bin' exhibits a pale straw colour with delicate yellow hues. The nose is aromatic and enticing, offering fresh scents of ripe pear, crunchy red apple, and floral blossoms such as honeysuckle, accented by a sprinkling of baking spice. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with a rich and silky mouthfeel, showcasing flavours of juicy stone fruits, nashi pear, and hints of ginger or almond. It is characterized by a delicate balance between refreshing acidity and a delicious off dry finish. This 100% Pinot Gris typically features an ABV of 13% to 13.5% and is fermented in stainless steel tanks with a brief period of ageing on yeast lees to enhance texture. While Villa Maria produces an organic range called EarthGarden, the Private Bin is not certified organic. The optimal drinking window is while the wine is young and fresh, generally within 2 years of the vintage.
