A delightful sparkling with generous foam & fine numerous bubbles

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.

Ngakirikiri refers to the unique soils that define the Gimblett Gravels growing appellation, uniquely situated on the former Ngaruroro riverbed which was left exposed following a historically significant flood event which permanently changed the rivers course in 1867. The first vines were planted in these arid soils in the 1980's and this small area of 800 hectares has since become New Zealand's epicentre for premium full bodied red wine production with a reputation for beautifully balanced, thought-provoking wines. Ngakirikiri is only made when great vintages produce truly outstanding wines for consideration. This flagship wines represents the pinnacle of their winemaking achievements and a milestone in Villa Maria's history.

Gewürztraminer is an aromatic wine grape variety, the name literally means 'Spice Traminer'. This Gewürztraminer shows highly perfumed varietal aromas of lychee, fresh clover honey, rose petal and ginger spice. The palate reveals similar flavours delivered with lovely richness and gentle texture, leading to an off-dry finish.

This lighter in alcohol Rosé displays fresh, red berry fruits and floral aromas on the nose. The palate is delicately balanced, smooth and refreshing.

Bright lifted aromas reminiscent of spring; white florals and fresh lemon and limes jump out of the glass. The palate is light and crisp showing juicy mandarin and lime flavours with a hint of slatey minerality on the finish. This Private Bin Riesling is an off-dry style displaying excellent fruit sweetness balanced with zesty sherbet-like acidity on the 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.??
