"The popularity of Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough area of New Zealand’s South Island has grown enormously over the last two decades.  And Villa Maria is one of the reasons.  This clean and fresh Sauvignon Blanc displays an electricity-like energy that accompanies, but does not overwhelm, its subtle fruitiness.  Think of it like a squirt of lime on a piece of swordfish.”

“The pioneers of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Villa Maria have perfected an effortless wine style with this expressive, clean, fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc. The 2020 vintage 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 an aromatic white with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors. This world-class Sauvignon Blanc displays fresh herbal flavors that would be a great match for any vegetarian or vegan dishes.”
