Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Southern Clays Marlborough 2011
This is bright pale straw wine with an intense bouquet, delicately balanced in the classic style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and enriched by the character of clay. It is ripe, tight, and pervasive, with savoury fruitiness and great intensity and is beautifully made and seamlessly blended. Deep gravel gives the wine from the vines grown on it bright aromatic intensity and definition. This is the “cats pee on a gooseberry bush” description which has been coined for the Marlborough style of Sauvignon Blanc. Clay soils make more rounded and more immediately appealing wines, in this case with a trace of the herbal scent of sage.
