George Fistonich started Villa Maria as a one-man band in 1961. An icon of the NZ wine industry, this family owned company became a global brand in just 50 years. Villa Maria's Cellar Selection is an intensely flavoured, elegant and food-friendly wine range.

Sourced from our Te Awa and Soler Vineyards, and fermented using a natural 'Pied de Cuve' started in the vineyard, this Chardonnay reveals a fragrant nose of ripe stone fruit and citrus blossom with subtle notes of baking spice provided by fermentation in French Oak. The wine is matured 'sur lie' (on yeast lees) adding further richness and texture prior to bottling.

This wine is fruit-driven in style, exhibiting ripe peach with underlying citrus blossom and fig characters. On the palate, these flavours are enhanced by a creamy texture and a delicate suggestion of oak. A medium bodied Chardonnay that is styled for enjoyment upon release with or without food.

Enjoy the smooth velvet texture with rich flavours of plum, blackberry with subtle hints of spice and vanilla from oak maturation. A sweet-fruited and textured palate possessing supple tannins makes this a versatile food wine and suitable for any occasion.

This East Coast Pinot Gris shines with crisp, cool climate flavours of fresh and inviting ripe nashi pear, crunchy red apple and floral blossoms, leading to a rich and delicately balanced mouthfeel with a delicious off-dry finish.

This delicious Rosé has lovely hues of pink with copper undertones and displays an explosion of fresh strawberries and pink grapefruit supported by subtle baking spice. The palate has generous fruit but finishes crisp and refreshing.

This is the Sauvignon Blanc that put Villa Maria on the world map. A blend of both Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys, their winemakers take great care to ensure this wine showcases exceptional balance and consistency every vintage. The room-filling aromatics and strikingly crisp character of our Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are why it is so popular and such a memorable experience.

This stunning Syrah is a blend of parcels from our premium vineyards in Hawkes Bay's Gimblett Gravels. 2016 delivered wonderfully fragrant and intense Syrah wines. Dense purple hues lead to a perfumed nose of boysenberry, spice and violets. Ripe tannins encase concentrated fruit characters on a long and silky palate. Careful cellaring of up to 10+ years will reward with further complexity.

A classic blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes delivers a vibrant sparkling wine. Delicate bubbles carry flavours of zesty citrus and ripe stone fruit, with a hint of brioche.
