Villa Maria 2022 Sauvignon Blanc

WINEMAKER NOTES

The 2022 Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc has lifted aromatics of fresh garden peas and blackcurrants mingled with herbs such as coriander. On the palate are concentrated flavors of jalapeño and lemongrass, with a punchy finish of lime zest and a hint of gunflint. A key point of interest in this wine is the chalky texture reminiscent of wet river stones.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

92pts James Suckling

Bright and lively sauvignon, showing aromas of green pears, kiwi fruit, snow peas and elderflowers. It’s medium-bodied, with such freshness and crunchy energy.

91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Single Vineyard Taylors Pass Sauvignon Blanc is pungent and bright, with concentrated green apple, lime, coriander, juniper and brine. Everything is in place here. It’s a juicy wine with loads of flavor. The fine phenolics through the finish elevate the wine beyond the usual summer drinking wine. Very good.
