2021 | Villa Maria | Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc

Vibrant nose of gooseberry, lime, passion fruit and guava. Medium-bodied with an intense, fruity and flavorful palate. Ripe and tropical finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Strawberry leaf, lemon-lime and ginger charge forth on this aromatic white. In the mouth, it's crisp refreshing and slippery with what feels like a hint of residual sugar-contributing texture interest more than actual sweetness. It would be a knockout with spicy Asian fare.

Producer Information

The Villa Maria story is one of absolute passion. Each wine is crafted in the unique, fruit-driven style of New Zealand, showcasing the very best of the country’s distinct wine regions. Villa Maria sources grapes from New Zealand’s premium grape growing regions, including Marlborough and Hawkes Bay, and produces wines in state-of-the-art winemaking facilities in Auckland and Marlborough. The winery Sir George Fistonich started in 1961 is still family owned and stands as an icon of superior quality and innovation in New Zealand winemaking. Villa Maria was also the first wine company in New Zealand to declare the winery a “cork-free zone,” sealing all wines from the 2001 vintage onwards with a screw cap to ensure quality in every bottle. Dedicated to minimizing environmental impact, Villa Maria has pioneered sustainable viticulture and winemaking since the 1990s, and is one of the very few wineries that have acquired four certifications as proof of the on-going commitment. Respected global beverage journal Drinks International has named Villa Maria as New Zealand’s Most Admired Wine Brand from 2015 to 2019 for consistently outstanding focus on quality.
