Villa Maria, EarthGarden' Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon, 6x75cl

🍷 Villa Maria – EarthGarden Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon
New Zealand | Hawke’s Bay | Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Organically grown grapes are vinified separately before blending and ageing in French oak to build structure and complexity while preserving fruit purity and natural vibrancy.
Farming: Certified organic vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, where warm days, cool nights, and gravelly soils produce supple, expressive Bordeaux-style reds with a New Zealand twist.

🌿 A pure-fruited, organically grown red—smooth, vibrant, and beautifully balanced.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with crimson edges—bright and inviting.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and cassis mingle with hints of thyme, cedar, and subtle spice from oak ageing.

👅 On the Palate:
Juicy and refined. Layers of dark berry fruit are framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Notes of red currant, chocolate, and sweet herbs carry through to a long, polished finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Great with roast lamb, mushroom risotto, barbecued vegetables, or lentil stew. A versatile red with enough structure for meat and enough finesse for plant-based fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now or cellar for 4–6 years to develop further roundness and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
EarthGarden brings together sustainability and style—an organic red blend that’s lush, approachable, and full of Hawke’s Bay character. A wine that’s as good for the planet as it is in the glass.
