Villa Maria’s Single Vineyard Seaspray Sauvignon Blanc is a standout wine from the eastern coastline of the Awatere Valley, a cooler and windier sub-region of Marlborough, New Zealand. This area is known for its slow-growing season, which allows the grapes to develop an intense concentration and depth of flavour.
The 2021 vintage of this wine was awarded by the IWC, earning praise for its exceptional quality. It also holds a high 4.1 rating on Vivino, reflecting its popularity among wine enthusiasts. This 2022 vintage continues this success and has 14% ABV.
This wine start with the typical Sauvignon Blanc passion fruit aroma. On the palate, it offers a very vibrant mix of citrus, lime, capsicum and passion fruit, with herbal undertones. It’s notably more flavoursome than a typical Sauvignon Blanc, yet it manages to balance its intensity without overwhelming. This clever finesse leaves you wanting to finish the bottle, making it a wine to enjoy in the moment rather than saving for another day.
Available at Majestic for £15.99 in a Mix Six deal.
