[SOLD-OUT] Villa Maria McDiarmid Hill Chardonnay 2020

 

"McDiarmid Hill vineyard in Gisborne, beautifully positioned in the remote and dramatic northeastern corner of New Zealand’s North Island, sits on an elevated north-facing slope. The region’s warm summers and mild winters provide average yearly sunshine of around 2200 hours, explaining why Gisborne has become popularly regarded as New Zealand’s Chardonnay Capital. Fermented in barrel, Villa Maria Single Vineyard McDiarmid Hill Chardonnay not only captures wonderfully ripe flavours of pure apple and nectarine, but also introduces intriguing dark, nutty notes, while a hint of toasty oak binds a firm palate." - Decanter

 

"Capturing the qualities of a spectacular vineyard, McDiarmid Hill offers a medley of tropical fruit aromas, fig and smoky grilled nut. The palate is seamlessly textured, leading to a finish extended by fine acidity. This concentrated wine retains a balance that will appeal for immediate enjoyment but will ultimately benefit from maturation, developing intriguing complexity over the next 5-8 years." - Villa Maria
