Villa Maria Clifford Bay Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2023

With its power and gorgeous fruit purity, the enticing bouquet shows kiwifruit, Granny Smith apple, nectarine and kaffir lime notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying brilliant focus and persistency. Exuberant and lively with a prolonged, mouth-watering finish. At its best: now to 2030. Score – 96. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, March 2024)
