Description
The New Zealanders have decided on the red, that their ‘national’ grape is Pinot Noir. To those of us, the ‘discovery’ of a leading red Burgundy (Pinot Noir’s French ‘prototype’) is a puzzle whose solution is likely to cost a fortune, the Villa Maria winery offers an alternative – Neo-cosmic version of the variety, enthusiastic about its immediacy, its attractive character and its ‘civilized’ honor.
