Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Delivering consistent quality every year and considered a benchmark for the style. This constant award winner is richly herbaceous with a tropical palate, achieved by carefully blending quality grapes from the Awatere and Wairau Valleys.

The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during spring. Flowering went without a glitch and due healthy soil moisture levels the canopies looked lush and vibrant. The start of 2022 summer was slightly colder; February was below the long-term average in temperature, but the weather settled, and we saw a mild although slightly damp autumn.

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 promote freshness.
