Villa Maria Single Vineyard Seddon Pinot Noir, From the cool Awatere sub-region, this Pinot Noir reveals lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose, underpinned by subtle spice and earthy notes. The palate is silky and graceful, with fine-grained tannins and a lively thread of acidity carrying flavours of cranberry, raspberry and savoury forest floor. Gentle oak integration adds depth without overshadowing the fruit. Awarded 94 points (Bob Campbell MW), this single-vineyard expression is a poised, elegant Pinot that beautifully reflects its site with both purity and finesse.
