Awards

As one of the most famous American wine critics and journalists, James Suckling is among the leading experts on wines and was a former editor for Wine Spectator. He now conducts his own personal reviews online and conferences
Vegan Wine
Though made entirely the same way as all wines, vegan wines are wines in which during the winemaking step of "fining" that is needed to filter the wine, no animal-based products are used. The most common fining agents used by the wine industry are egg whites and milk protein. Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as clay or plant-based fining agents.
Critique Review
A fresh, tangy white with sliced apples, mangoes and light pineapple. Medium body. Creamy and delicious. Lots of lime on the finish. Drink now.

Vineyard Info
Château Sainte-Marie is located in the middle of the prime wine-growing Entre-Deux-Mers area between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. The ideally oriented plots stretch across two hills with perfect exposure to the sun on some of the highest land in the Gironde département. The fruit, whose amazing quality improves continuously, is picked from old vines, whose yield is carefully controlled, including a plot of more than a hundred-year-old Semillon and Merlot vines.
The distinctive inherent quality of Château Sainte-Marie wines results from the wide diversity of soils in which our vines are cultivated. The abundant variety of terroirs (clayey gravel, clayey limestone and asteriated limestone) provides scope for selection that is worthy of very great wines. The winery has been certified HVE Level 3 (Sustainable winegrowing) since the 2020 vintage.
