Villa Maria EarthGarden Sauvignon Blanc

Villa Maria EarthGarden Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Description

EarthGarden is 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 hundreds of pounds of wildflowers are planted in our vineyards to attract bees and beneficial insects to control pests and disease in harmony with nature. These wildflowers were the inspiration for our beautiful label.

Sustainable vineyard management means healthier vines and fruit, requiring less winemaking intervention to allow the purest expression of the grape and terroir in every delicious bottle.

When you taste our wine, you taste the care put into the soil, the conscious tending of the vines, the careful handling of the fruit produced and the respect for our relationship with the land.

Acclaim
“Subtle gooseberry, guava and green beans on the nose follow through to a crisp, light- to medium-bodied palate full of green fruits like lime citrus, green apple and guavas.” — James Suckling, Nov 2023
Comrie discusses the sustainable aspects behind the winemaking of this particular wine and how the grapes come from specific vineyards with holistic farming. She says, “This was personally my favorite in their lineup. Not only for the sustainability aspect (or the beautiful label, inspired by their wildflowers!), but also for the delicious flavors. As soon as I poured myself a glass of this, the room was filled with intense, lifted aromas of lime and grapefruit. On the palate, I love that it’s a bit different from other New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, with a fresh, herbaceous – but not grassy – flavor. Lemongrass and passionfruit dance through a long, lingering finish that is perfectly thirst-quenching.”
— Wine With Paige, May 2022
