Villa Maria EarthGarden Rosé 2020

This Pinot Noir expresses black fruits like boysenberries and blueberries with subtle floral notes and gentle acidity. The cocoa powder tannins and smoky toasty notes add complexity with a generous earthy textural finish.

Vineyards

Our key focus is to be environmentally responsible and to operate using sustainable practices in order to protect the land for future generations. Villa Maria has farmed Pinot Noir organically since 2010 gaining Biogro certification in 2012.

Winemaking

Wild fermentation was encouraged and where not possible, BioGro approved yeast strains were used to innoculate the fermentation after crushing. The wine was pressed to oak post-fermentation, 10% new, for 10-12 months before bottling.
