Summertime is here with a vengeance and we're doing what we can to make sure that you can deal with all of the travails in the most effective manner possible!!
Soft, crisp Sauvignon Blanc that is a great accompaniment to seafood, salads, light appetizers or just sitting under the shade and enjoying the sunset.

The Winemaker's Thoughts on this wine.....
This intense Sauvignon Blanc is alive with a myriad of flavours dominated by gooseberry, passionfruit, fresh citrus, melon and herbaceous aromas. The wine has an enticing palate with a juicy flavour profile, purity and concentration, finishing crisp and clean with an interwoven thread of acidity.
New Zealand’s Most Awarded Winery
In 1961, at just 21 years of age, George leased five acres of land from his father in Mangere, Auckland and started off with just an acre of vines. He harvested his first grapes in 1962 and made his first wine under the name Villa Maria. Throughout the 1960s Villa Maria was a one-man band, with George’s wife, Gail, supporting him in his venture. He made dry red and white wines, sourcing grapes from the greater Auckland regions. In the early 1970s he started to employ staff and the company began to expand rapidly.
Today, Villa Maria employs more than 250 permanent staff and exports wine to over 50 countries worldwide.
Looking after the next generation
Being environmentally responsible is inherent in the long term view we take of the wine business. As a family owned New Zealand business. We at Villa Maria believe that sustainability is not an end point but a journey and therefore we are always finding ways to embed sustainable principles into the culture of the organisation.
New Zealand, a land like no other
New Zealand is a small country, similar in size to Great Britain or Japan. With a population of only four million people (informally known as Kiwis) it’s also gloriously uncrowded. It has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting the unique mix of Maori and European culture.
Lying in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand consists of two main islands - the North Island and the South Island.
You'll find a variety of awesome landscapes in New Zealand, all within easy reach of each other. Spectacular glaciers, picturesque fiords, rugged mountains, vast plains, rolling hillsides, subtropical forest, volcanic plateau, miles of coastline with gorgeous sandy beaches - it’s all there.
