Villa Maria Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024
An intensely tropical, tangy Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, bursting with passion fruit, zesty citrus, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
Dry, Light-Medium Body, Unoaked
The Lowdown
Villa Maria was one of the early New Zealand producers to gain prominence in the UK and, as their regular awards testify, are still right up there. This Sauvignon Blanc, from their 'Private Bin' collection is one of their benchmark wines and a perennial favourite. The fruit for it is sourced from a mix of warmer Wairau Valley vineyards, for richness and tropical flavours, and Awatere Valley sites which provide the crisp acid structure and pungent herbal aromatics. The outcome is a classic Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc with a myriad of flavours dominated by gooseberry and passionfruit together with fresh citrus and herbaceous aromas.
The Occasion
This is classic Kiwi Sauvignon that's great just by itself and will suit fish, shellfish and mild creamy cheeses down to the ground.
The Producer
Villa Maria, one of New Zealand's most prominent and award-winning wineries, was founded in 1961 by Sir George Fistonich. From humble beginnings on a small patch of land near Auckland’s airport, they've grown into one of the country’s largest producers, with vineyards spread across all of New Zealand's main wine regions. After many years of independence, Villa Maria was acquired, in 2021, by Indevin, a company that describes itself as an unsung juggernaut of the New Zealand wine industry. Quite the journey for a winery that started so small and has now become a giant in the industry.
