Jasmine is a new release from Villiera.

The evocative name reflects the floral, spicy scent prevalent in the wine. It is a lighter, luscious option in our range and it is designed to go with fusion or spicy food, but it is also enjoyable on its own.

Jasmine is a white wine created in response to market feedback. At Villiera we are always listening to the market and we began hearing from younger, new wine drinkers that they wanted something easier to drink. The suggestion was that it had to be aromatic and seductive but with enough complexity to make it interesting and compatible with food.

After giving it some thought we realized we had the varieties and after playing with Muscat, Riesling and Gewurztraminer we came up with the perfect blend. The Muscat (43%) provided the floral element, the Gewurztraminer (24%) added complexity and spice, and the Riesling (33%) freshened it up and pulled it all together. Jasmine was born.
