Villa Maria Description
Sourced from vineyards across the Marlborough region, this intense Sauvignon Blanc is alive with a myriad of flavors dominated by gooseberry, passionfruit, fresh citrus and herbaceous aromas.
Tasting Notes: This wine showcases the youthful, fresh and vibrant characteristics of Marlborough. Initially, the cool climate Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, such as lemongrass, jalapeño peppers and fresh herbs. In contrast, the Wairau Valley has warmer summer months, influencing vineyards to produce a pungent Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors.
Food Pairing: A perfect aperitif wine. Fresh herbal flavors match well with most salads, whereas the riper tropical flavors match well with many fish recipes.
James Suckling: 90 Points
Bright and fruity with crisp notes of lemongrass, passion fruit, lemons and white grapefruit on the nose. Vibrant acidity with a medium body and juicy finish.
