Founded in 1961 by its current owner and Managing Director Sir George Fistonich, Villa Maria Estate is now seen as an icon in the New Zealand wine industry. An unrelenting commitment to producing quality wine has allowed Villa Maria to cement its place as New Zealand’s most awarded winery for over thirty years. Their passion for quality which begins with astute vineyard selection and expert wine-making is carried throughout every part of the family owned winery, resulting in premium quality New Zealand wine that is enjoyed throughout the world.
New Zealand’s long ripening period is unique among the world’s wine regions and it can produce some extraordinarily fine, vibrantly fruited whites. This wine has an uncanny combination of ripeness and fullness of body coupled with a fresh, racy acidity. Lovely floral and herbal aromas as well as clear ripe citrus flavors keep the interest level high on this wine. This is very versatile with food in general but outstanding with all manner of finned seafood and positively brilliant with shellfish and spicy Asian Cuisine.
