With a character imbued with an effortless elegance and complexity, Villa Maria Private Bin Pinot Noir reflects the finest traditions of winemaking.

A savoury Pinot Noir style with a lively personality, this wine expresses hints of red cherries on the nose, along with baking spices such as clove and cinnamon.
