Family owned Villa Maria Estate has been rated as New Zealands

This Pinot Noir has aromas of boysenberries and red fruits with notes of mocha and spice. The palate displays juicy red fruits, balanced with gentle tannins and a gloriously subtle toasty finish. Superb on its own or paired with duck or lamb.

Brightly fruited and immediately appealing with sweet cherry, floral, clove and toasted almond notes, it's beautifully weighted and finely textured in the mouth offering juicy fruit flavours with spicy nuances. Splendidly balanced and elegantly flavoursome with a lengthy silky finish.

Ripe plum, cherry and raspberry aromas with mushroom and spice. Succulent fruit with smooth mouthfeel with elegant spice and a dry finish

'Producing great value Pinot Noir is a tough ask, and so when you do stumble across one it's worth making as much noise as you possibly can about it! To that end, this is lush, textural Pinot where intense sweet cherry fruit is cleverly offset by vibrant acid and a wash of super fine tannin to end. Amazing value and a sure-fire way to impress at your next dinner party.'

Rapaura Springs have turned plenty of heads with their current releases - the Reserve Pinot Noir is little short of jaw dropping. Drinking beautifully now expect a nose that's ripe, plush and jammed full of seductive fruit and spice smells, while textbook silky mouth-feel leads to a long fine finish. Drink it with five spice duck and rice.
