The Villa Maria Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc Private Bin is a vibrant and aromatic wine with notes of citrus, passion fruit, and fresh herbs, along with a crisp acidity. It pairs beautifully with dishes that are fresh, herbaceous, and have elements of seafood or light creaminess. Here are the best pairings from our menu:
