Villa Maria Wine

Villa Maria is one of New Zealand's most celebrated and awarded wine brands, specifically renowned for its distinct Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Founded in 1961 by George Fistonich, it grew from a small family operation into a global leader in the New Zealand wine industry, known for its focus on sustainability and innovation.

The wine is primarily produced in New Zealand's key wine-growing regions, including Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, and Auckland. In 2021, the brand underwent a significant ownership transition when Indevin Group, New Zealand's largest wine producer, acquired Villa Maria Estate after its parent company entered receivership.

Today, Villa Maria remains a cornerstone of the New Zealand wine export market, maintaining its commitment to quality under the stewardship of Indevin. The transition ensured that the brand remains locally owned and operated within New Zealand, continuing its legacy of producing premium varietals for the international market.
