WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Villa Maria Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2025 begins with grapes harvested during the cool hours of the night and early morning to preserve aromatics. The fruit undergoes gentle pressing before fermentation with carefully selected yeast strains, chosen to enhance vibrant aromas and crisp flavors. A period of maturation on lees follows, contributing to the wine's texture and mouthfeel. The wine is then fined and filtered before bottling, ensuring clarity and stability. Villa Maria's approach emphasizes quality and the expression of Marlborough's terroir, with a strong commitment to sustainable viticultural practices.
