Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2019 - Villa Maria

The Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Villa Maria is a full-bodied, grape variety pure white wine from the New Zealand wine-growing region Marlborough - Clifford Bay.

In the glass this wine shines in a bright straw-yellow colour with greenish-gold shades. The bouquet reveals powerful aromas of currants, sugar peas and fresh, juicy lime, interspersed with exotic notes. Fresh grass, lemon balm and other lemongrass nuances complement. The explosive, concentrated, full-bodied palate of this New Zealand white wine inspires with fleshy fruit, beautiful acidity and fine melting. This wine flows into a long, mineral and complex finish with fine acidity.

Vinification of the Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Reserve

After harvesting the Sauvignon Blanc grapes, the grapes are separated into plots and vinified. Once in the cellar, the berries are gently pressed and the clear must is drawn off. The must is then slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. In order for this wine to retain its aromatic fullness and freshness, there is no contact with wood.

Food recommendation for the Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Villa Maria
