Succulent: Villa Maria Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014.
New Zealand sauvignon blanc is everywhere and familiarity can breed contempt, at least in some wine drinking circles. A few hipsters may sneer, but the general public and the rest of the world embrace this wine type with great abandon. Villa Maria's Reserve Wairau Valley is a super-tangy, top-shelf drop that expresses the essence of the Marlborough sauvignon style perfectly. It offers passionfruit pavlova aroma, floral scents and herbaceous cut on the nose, leading through a ripe, succulent mouthful of crisp varietal purity and zesty acidity.
