Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled.

Founded by Sir George Fistonich who started making wine aged 21 with just an acre of land leased from his father, Villa Maria has the distinction of being New Zealand’s most awarded winery with vineyards in both Auckland and Marlborough. Villa Maria was solely run by Sir George and his wife Gail up until the 1970s when they expanded rapidly. Today the winery exports to over 60 countries worldwide and grows some 28 different varieties.

This charming Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Wairau valley vineyards in Marlborough. Conditions here are ideal for premium white winemaking thanks to the nearby Pacific Ocean which provides cooling breezes to moderate temperatures during the summer growing season. This helps to lock in freshness and aromatics, with the fruit normally left on the vine into the autumn to ensure it reaches full ripeness.

Classic New Zealand Sauvignon notes of gooseberry, limes and freshly-cut grass dominate on the nose, while the first sip reveals a mouthwatering freshness and enticing citrus, lemongrass and fresh herb flavours which end in a pure, clean finish. Enjoy as an aperitif in the warmer months or pair with salads, sushi, fresh seafood, and cheeses.
