Villa Maria Single Vineyard Seaspray Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Dry, Fig, Herbal

"It's splendidly lifted on the nose, showing Granny Smith apple, jalapeno, lime peel, and herbaceous notes, followed by a concentrated palate delivering fine focus and persistency. Offering excellent fruit power with bright acidity, making it mouth-watering and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2024

"An enticing and classically varietal bouquet with scents of fresh basil and pineapple, apple and lemon, grapefruit and stone. Dry, crisp and lively as the wine touches the palate. Flavours of citrus and tropical fruit, some fresh herbs and stony mineral qualities of embrace the palate. High acidity and decent core of fruit present a wine of quality and style. Best drinking from late 2024, even early 2025, through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Aug 2023

Seaspray Vineyard lies against the rugged eastern coastline of the Awatere Valley where the fresh ocean air slows the growing season to develop Sauvignon Blanc of incredible power and concentration. The vines are still young, so we expect the wines intensity to only increase as the vineyard reaches maturity.
