Villa Maria Private Sauvignon Blanc always combines the best of both sub-regions for a consistently classic Marlborough style. Initially, the cool climate Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, displaying lime, lemongrass, and fresh herbs. In contrast, the warmer Wairau Valley vineyards produce heady aromatics reminiscent of grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours. The wine is focused, with a lip-smacking acidity that leads to a long and lingering finish.

Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in reduced crop yield for the 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed with Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentration flavours and fresh acidity.

Cool temperature enhance and protect aromatics and natural acidity. Selected aromatic yeasts are chosen to emphasis tropical notes from Wairau valley and herbal notes from Awatere valley. Wines are bottled in their youth to capture freshness.

Food Pairing: A perfect aperitif wine, serve chilled on warm summer days. Fresh herbal flavours match well with most salads, wheres the riper tropical flavours match well with any fish or chicken recipes.
