Villa Maria Estate

Congratulations Air New Zealand on launching 1345, we’re excited to share that the wines we produced in collaboration with our national airline have officially taken flight! Our winemakers worked with the team at Air New Zealand to craft wines that truly showcase the best of Marlborough. The Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant blend of Wairau and Awatere Valley grapes, bursting with passionfruit, lemongrass, and herbal notes. Meanwhile, the Pinot Noir, sourced from the eastern Wairau Valley, offers a refined balance of cherry, plum, and dried herbs. Yet another great reason to visit New Zealand!
