Send Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough 75cl - New Zealand White Wine

Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc showcases everything fresh and vibrant about Marlborough. Initially, the classic Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, such as lemongrass, jalapeño peppers and fresh herbs. The cool climate in the Awatere Valley is influenced by Mt Tapuae-o-uenuku and the cool alpine winds and fresh sea breezes protect the natural acidity in this wine. In contrast, the Wairau Valley has warmer summer months, with dry nor-westerly winds influencing vineyards to produce a pungent Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavours.

Villa Maria

Sauvignon Blanc that put Villa Maria on the world map. A blend of both Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys our winemakers take great care to ensure this wine showcases exceptional balance and consistency every vintage. The room-filling aromatics and strikingly crisp character of our Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are why it is so popular and such a memorable experience.

At Villa Maria they prioritise ripeness in our Sauvignon Blanc wines, often picking later than other wineries to ensure maximum fruit flavour to balance the powerful natural acidity of this varietal. ?A myriad of flavours dominated by fresh passionfruit and citrus retained in all their glory by our gentle pressing techniques (less juice from the grape but more flavour) and select yeast strains.

Perfect for warmer weather, the aromatic and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc is made for the great moments. Drink chilled out of the fridge with a platter of camembert, havarti and gouda on the table for a delightful afternoon indulgence.

Food Pairing

Perfect aperitif wine, serve chilled on warm summer days. Sauvignon Blanc's riper tropical flavours is perfectly paired with fresh seafood, such as sautéed scallops or seared snapper. Fresh herbal flavours match well with a fresh side salad of fresh rocket, goat cheese and melon
