Sauvignon Blanc Day – May 6th 2023

Villa Maria EarthGarden Sauvignon Blanc 2022 ($21)

Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand

Focused on sustainable winemaking, Villa Maria’s EarthGarden wines are grown in harmony with nature, embodying a holistic approach that is better for our soils, our ecosystems and ourselves. No synthetic pesticides or herbicides are used and wildflowers are planted to attract bees and other beneficial insects to the vineyards. These wildflowers were the inspiration for the beautiful label! Lifted aromas of citrus fruits, lime and grapefruit leap from the glass. The flavors on the palate showcase fresh herbs, lemongrass and passionfruit. The intense fresh fruit concentration is balanced with zesty acidity and is perfectly thirst-quenching making this a quintessential New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
