Villa Maria Southern Clays Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Marlborough

An excellent bouquet of variety, site and style. Aromas of fresh grapefruit and white peaches, lemon and tropical fruits of mango then apple. There’s a wet river-stone and lees complexity then fresh herbs and pineapple. Crisp and dry with taut youthful structure, flavours reflect the bouquet framed by a saline acid line and mineral complexity. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2029.
