VILLA MARIA CELLAR SELECTION SAUV BLANC 750 ml

Description

Discover the vibrant spirit of Marlborough in every sip of Villa Maria Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from carefully chosen vineyard sites across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys in New Zealand, this white wine embodies the region's dynamic terroir. At 13% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, it offers a crisp profile suited to dry palates, with a sweetness level of just 01.

Let the nose draw you in with lively herbal scents intertwined with delicate floral whispers, evoking a fresh spring morning. On the tongue, expect a generous rush of citrus vibrancy—sharp grapefruit zest, bright lemon tang, and lively lime sparks—that dances with energy. The close lingers refreshingly, thanks to poised acidity reminiscent of fizzy sherbet, underscored by intriguing flinty minerality that adds depth and poise.

What sets this Sauvignon Blanc apart lies in its origins. Parcels from the sun-kissed Wairau Valley contribute fuller, riper tropical layers, while those from the breezy Awatere Valley bring sharper green edges, like fresh herbs and subtle green pepper nuances. This thoughtful blend creates a harmonious expression, capturing Marlborough's contrasting climates in one bottle.

Crafted with precision, the grapes ripen under cool evening skies to lock in their lively character. The resulting clear juice undergoes gentle fermentation in steel vessels with special yeast varieties, then rests on its spent yeast cells to gain subtle richness and mouthfeel—all while preserving that signature zing. The outcome? A wine with substance yet unyielding freshness, perfect for those seeking quality without excess.

Picture uncorking this gem for a sunny afternoon gathering, alongside light seafood or crisp salads—it elevates everyday moments into something memorable. Or chill it for solo evenings when you crave a revitalizing pour that sparks conversation. From Villa Maria's Cellar Selection line, this New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc delivers exceptional character at an approachable price of $19.71, making it a smart addition to your collection. Whether you're a varietal devotee or exploring whites, its bold Marlborough DNA promises delight in every glass.
