This is the Sauvignon Blanc that put Villa Maria on the world map. A blend of both Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys, their winemakers take great care to ensure this wine showcases exceptional balance and consistency every vintage. The room-filling aromatics and strikingly crisp character of our Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are why it is so popular and such a memorable experience.
Crisp, bright and juicy. Gentle red berry fruit flavours provide an inviting entry to a more complex, textured mineralic palate with a balanced crisp finish.
Lifted aromas of ripe cherries and spice lead this wine. The palate is soft and generous with delicate primary fruit characters of wild berries shadowed by subtle toasty oak.
The grapes are hand harvested from the Southern Valley's sub region in Marlborough, matured in french oak, the wine has minerality upfront with a citrus backbone, underlying french oak is giving complexity and structure.
