Villa Maria Single Vineyard McDiarmid Hill Gisborne Chardonnay 2022
"An expressive bouquet, varietal, fresh, youthful and new. Aromas and flavours of fresh pear and lemon, vanilla, nut and peach. Firm, youthful and dry with plenty of textures from acidity and fine wood tannins then flavours from citrus then vanilla and nut. Overall and taut youthful wine with flavours and textures that need time to integrate and develop more synergies. Best drinking from 2025 through 2032+" Cameron Douglas, Maser Sommelier, Sep 2023
"Delicately luscious chardonnay with white peach, struck flint, lemon curd, and peppery French oak flavours supported by tangy acidity and fruit tannins. Stylish wine that is ready to drink" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, The Real Review, Aug 2023
Capturing the qualities of a spectacular vineyard, McDiarmid Hill offers ripe tropical fruit aromas, fig and smoky grilled nut notes. The palate is lavishly textured, leading to a finish extended by fine acidity. This bold, concentrated wine retains a balance that will appeal for immediate enjoyment but will also benefit from maturation, developing intriguing complexity over the next 5-8 years.

McDiarmid Hill is Villa Maria's jewel in the crown Gisborne vineyard, beautifully positioned on an elevated north facing hillside slope in Patutahi. Taking full advantage of sunlight, drying wind conditions, slightly cooler temperatures and natural water drainage, the additional elevation provides a wonderful advantage for producing this consistently outstanding wine. Small parcels of mature dry farmed Mendoza vines provide for blending options, ideal for building complexity in the final wine.
