Villa Maria 'Private Bin' Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Wine Enthusiast 90
"A consistent standard-bearer for the variety as expressed in Marlborough, the 2016 Private Bin boasts ample red currant and pink grapefruit aromas and flavors, perked up by a touch of leafiness. It’s medium-bodied and perhaps a bit rounder and softer in the mouth than some, but finishes dry and stony."


"This intense Sauvignon Blanc is alive with a myriad of flavours dominated by gooseberry, passionfruit, fresh citrus, melon and herbaceous aromas. The wine has an enticing palate with a juicy flavour profile, purity and concentration, finishing crisp and clean with an interwoven thread of acidity." ~Winery Notes
