Villa Maria Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023 x 6
Product Description
WAIRAU VALLEY, MARLBOROUGH
Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023
A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough's Wairau Valley.
Bursting with tropical fruit characters found in this warmer subregion, this wine
displays punchy aromas of passionfruit and blackcurrant. The palate has an
enticing and complex array of rich citrus fruits mixed with ripe herbs finishing
with fresh and juicy acidity.
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.
