Villa Maria Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc - 2023 (750ml)
Winemaker's Notes:
This classy Sauvignon Blanc shows lifted aromatics of fresh garden peas and blackcurrants mingled with herbs such as coriander. On the palate are concentrated flavours of jalapeno and lemongrass, with a punchy finish of lime zest and hint of gunflint.
Elderflower, pea shoots and lemongrass combine in this flavorsome, almost Thai food-inspired 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Taylors Pass vineyard. The green-yet-ripe style is characteristic of the Awatere Valley. Some lovely sinew provides grip and drive through the mouth, which is likely a combination of acidity and phenolics. - By Rebecca Gibb MW on September 2024
Heady aromas of honeyed lime, jasmine, passion fruit, pineapple and grass flow to a palate that's slippery in texture with nice fruit concentration and the slightest bit of residual sugar to temper the acidity. A strong bottling of this classic style. — Christina Pickard
