Villa Maria Taylors Pass Pinot Noir is an intensely ripe, concentrated expression from one of Marlborough's most distinctive single-vineyard sites. With a rich bouquet of brooding dark cherry, violets and fresh herbs, the palate shows fine tannins, soft acidity and graphite minerality, giving structure, focus and length. The finish unfolds with layers of dark chocolate, dried herbs and subtle oak spice.
Why You'll Love It
This is single-vineyard Pinot Noir at its finest—concentrated, elegant, and beautifully structured. Crafted with a single-vineyard philosophy, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Taylors Pass in Marlborough, offering an intensely ripe expression not often associated with the region. Precision viticulture and minimal intervention in the winery ensure a true expression of place. The result is a Pinot Noir with exceptional depth, complexity and ageing potential.
Vineyard & Production
The Taylors Pass vineyard combines stony soils, which contribute fresh floral and red-fruited notes, with silt loams that provide depth, structure and graphite-like minerality. Warm and sheltered, the site is well suited to producing a more opulent style of Pinot Noir. The 2019 vintage saw lower fruit set due to a cool spring, producing open bunches of small, flavour-packed berries. From January, Marlborough experienced a long, hot, dry summer with cool nights—ideal conditions for achieving full flavour and phenolic ripeness while retaining natural freshness. Hand-harvested fruit was fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top stainless-steel fermenters, with hand plunging for gentle extraction. The wine matured for 14 months in French oak barriques (25% new), undergoing wild malolactic fermentation and minimal fining with egg whites.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
