Description

- Taut acidity

This textural expression of Sauvignon Blanc with a more complex profile than the usual Marlborough style. This wine is aged on yeast lees to build palate weight and a creamy texture into the wine. The intense lime and grapefruit flavours are balanced with taut acidity and subtle hints of smokey mineral tones on the finish.
A key focus of Villa Maria is to be environmentally responsible and to operate using sustainable practices in order to protect the land for future generations, therefore Biogro certified organic farming techniques were used to produce this wine. 72% of the Sauvignon Blanc came from the cooler windier Awatere Valley with the remaining 28% from the warmer stony vineyard sites in the Wairau Valley.
Harvesting Sauvignon Blanc in cool night temperatures helps protect the aromatics, the resulting clear juice is fermented with textural yeast strains with 70% in older seasoned oak barriques and puncheons, the balance in stainless steel tanks. The wine was matured on its yeast lees for 6 months to build palate weight and complexity.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with any seafood but is also suitable for vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
