Villa Maria SV Seaspray Sauvignon Blanc NV

Single Vineyard

Seaspray Sauvignon Blanc

The Seaspray Sauvignon Blanc has distinctive briny seashell characters and lively acidity derived from the nearby oceanic influence. Flavours of kaffir lime, capsicum and freshly picked culinary herbs represent the cooler windy coastal Awatere sub region in Marlborough where these young Sauvignon Blanc vines struggle to grow in the sandy river gravel soil.

Vineyards and Winemaking

Seaspray Vineyard lies against the rugged eastern coastline of the Awatere Valley where the fresh ocean air slows the growing season to develop Sauvignon Blanc of incredible power and concentration. The vines are still young, so we expect the wines intensity to only increase as the vineyard reaches maturity.

Soils And Viticulture

The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during spring. Flowering went without a glitch, due to healthy soil moisture levels the canopies looked lush and vibrant. The stat of 2022 summer was slightly colder; February was below the long-term average in temperature however the weather settled with a slightly damp autumn. 

An unusual and appealing floral aroma is flattered by a hint of sweetness that is balanced by tangy acidity. Lemongrass, guava, oyster shell, red capsicum and passionfruit flavours dominate. - 92 points
