A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc blend of selected parcels from the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. Wine grapes are harvested in the cool of the night and are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tank. with fresh tropical fruit aromas on the nose. Lots of green grassy and herbal notes, green pepper, passionfruit on the palate finishing with vibrant acidity. Chill and enjoy now and for the next two years. Pair with quiche, brunch fare and green salads topped with warm, herbed goat cheese.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: Thai green curry fish, shellfish, chicken and sage skewers, fresh tomato and basil salad.

Reviews and Ratings

From Marlborough, South Island, Villa Maria 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is produced from a certified sustainable vineyard from select parcels in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. Look for classic grassiness, herbaceous, ripe melon and tropical fruit notes on the nose and on a medium-bodied palate finishing fresh and silky. Great quality and expressive. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
