Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2018

A textbook kiwi Sauvignon from Villa Maria

Kiwi Sauvignon is a textbook wine and Villa Maria is one of the country's most reliable producers.

So this wine should be characteristic and flawless, right? And so it is.

If you want to know what an entry-level kiwi Sauvignon should taste like, or if you want an utterly benchmark wine, this is it. No surprises, quirks or flaws; just a well-made classic archetype.

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2018 (£11.25 Asda, Co-op, Majestic, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco, Waitrose) aromatic and expressive with cut grass, zingy gooseberry fruit, lemongrass and white flowers; zippy lime and a touch of white pepper. Clean, pure and well-made.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Drink as an aperitif; match with aromatic salad leaves or chili-ginger tuna carpaccio.
