    Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc - Very Nice

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: February 19, 2023 Last Updated: February 28, 2023

    A classic example of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, we review the Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc.

    Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc - Very Nice

    100% Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards across Marlborough, New Zealand. The wine does not spend any time in oak and has 4.2 g/L of residual sugar.

    Sample submitted for review. The wine has an average price of around $14 but can found for as low as $11 including at many Trader Joe's locations. It is imported by Winebow Inc.

    From the bottle:

    Grown between wild oceans, ancient river valleys and towering mountains, then bottled at our winery in the crater of a volcano, Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc is an iconic New Zealand wine. With the crack of the screw cap taste it for yourself as you unleash the essence of Marlborough and vibrant flavours of passionfruit and fresh kaffir lime.

    Produced and Bottled by Villa Maria Estate LTD.
    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2021 Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc opens with all the aromas you would expect from Marlborough: grapefruit, tropical fruit, grass and a little green pepper. It's a very pleasing start.

    Tasting the wine reveals it to be fresh, with crisp acidity, a vibrant mouthfeel and delicious depth on the fruit flavors which are similar to the nose. With some continuing notes of green pepper and good balance, this is a super nice example of Sauvignon Blanc.

    It ends dry, crisp and long on the refreshing, lip-smacking finish. This is a nice wine to stock up on for warmer weather.

    2021 Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc

    Taste: 8 (89-90 points)    Cost: 7
    OVERALL RATING: 7.8

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
