Villa Maria Reserve Chardonnay,  Sourced from premium sites across Marlborough, this Reserve Chardonnay showcases Villa Maria’s hallmark balance of richness and finesse. Aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus are layered with notes of toasted hazelnut and subtle smoky oak. The palate is finely textured, with a core of stonefruit and citrus zest framed by vibrant acidity and a whisper of flinty minerality. Partial malolactic fermentation and barrel ageing provide depth and creamy complexity without overpowering freshness. Awarded 94 points (Cameron Douglas MS), it’s a refined Chardonnay with both elegance and age-worthy structure.
