Villa Maria Earth Garden Sauvignon Blanc 2024

A lovely example with aromas and flavours of fresh tropical fruits and citrus peel, mandarin and white stone fruits. There’s a distinctive mineral and fruit spice quality adding breadth and complexity. Fresh, crisp and [just] dry on the palate, a core of fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet along with a fresh basil leaf suggestion. Best drinking from 2025 through 2028. Premium. Score – 92. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, March 7, 2025)
