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.

Established in 1994 and named after the Southern landmark range of the Wither Hills that border the vineyards, Wither Hills has always been dedicated to the philosophy that exceptional wines are created in the vineyard. Now one of New Zealand's most popular brands - Wairau Valley, at it's best. Pure and elegant, Wither Hills Chardonnay showcases cool climate characters of fresh lime and white peach with French oak nuances. We make some fantastic Chardonnay here in Marlborough and it's a wine I drink in any season - in the sunshine with a cheese platter and great company, or rugged up with a winter warming risotto.
