Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2024 x 12

MARLBOROUGH
 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc  2024
 Winemakers comments:
 Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc always combines the best of both 
sub-regions for a consistently classic Marlborough style. Initially, the cool 
climate Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, displaying lime, lemongrass, 
and fresh herbs. In contrast, the warmer Wairau Valley vineyards produce 
heady aromatics reminiscent of grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours. The wine 
is focused, with a lip-smacking acidity that leads to a long and lingering finish.
Serving Suggestions:
 A perfect aperitif wine, serve chilled on warm summer days. Fresh herbal
 flavours match well with most salads, whereas the riper tropical flavours
 match well with any fish or chicken recipes.
 Vintage and Vineculture:
Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in reduced 
crop yield for the 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed with 
Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic 
weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentrated flavours 
and fresh acidity.  
Winemaking:
 Cool temperatures enhance and protect aromatics and natural acidity.
 Selected aromatic yeasts are chosen to emphasis tropical notes from
 Wairau valley and herbal notes from Awatere valley. Wines are bottled in
 their youth to capture freshness.
