The grapes for this wine were sourced from three key vineyards across Marlborough. One in the Awatere valley, bringing a cooler climate aromatic influence. The other two vineyards are situated in the Southern valleys sub-region of the Wairau valley. The deep clay-based soils contribute to the concentration and structure of the wine.

Villa Maria is consistently voted "New Zealand's Most Admired Wine Brand" due to its pioneering moves and its drive for sustainability - they also make very good wines!!
