Villa Maria produce a huge volume of Sauvignon Blanc at their Marlborough winery under many labels and price points. This Wairau Reserve sits at the top tier, representing the very best.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"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."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"A powerful bouquet and palate with signature stony soils and fresh green herbs framed with passionfruit and green apple, lime and mango. Crisp and dry, saline and fresh, plenty of fruit power and fine lees moments adding texture and length. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2027."
