What defines an iconic wine?

At Villa Maria, we believe it’s the ability to connect with consumers year after year, delivering a distinctive and delicious experience with every vintage.

 

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc stands as our flagship wine, having delighted wine lovers for over 40 years. Since its debut in the early 1980s, Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc has achieved extraordinary success, finding its way to consumers in over 30 countries and paving the way for Villa Maria to be the No. 1 New Zealand wine brand in the United Kingdom.

Sauvignon Blanc’s birthplace

Marlborough

At the core of Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc’s success is its birthplace: the Marlborough region.

 

Known for its unique climate and distinctive terroir, Marlborough produces Sauvignon Blancs that are vibrant, aromatic, and bursting with flavour. Unscrew the cap, and you’ll be met with the bright acidity, zesty citrus notes, and delicate herbaceous undertones that are the hallmark of premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs.

 

Our winemakers select grapes from Marlborough’s renowned sub-regions of Wairau and Awatere, crafting a blend that highlights the best of what each harvest has to offer. While each vintage brings its own unique attributes, our commitment to excellence guarantees that every bottle lives up to its reputation.

Innovation and

Quality Winemaking

While the quality never wavers, we have innovated with Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc over its decades of success.

 

In 2001 Villa Maria was the first winery in the world to move to 100% screw cap closures for all our wines, ensuring our Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc arrives in your home as fresh as the day we bottle it.

 

As a founding member of Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, Villa Maria is committed to protecting our natural resources in all steps of the winemaking process, so that we can continue to share our exceptional wine with the world.

Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc is more than just a wine; it’s a symbol of the passion, dedication, and craftsmanship that define Villa Maria’s winemaking heritage. With a legacy spanning over four decades and multiple awards and accolades achieved globally, it embodies what makes a wine iconic.

 

Join us in celebrating the taste that has captivated the world with the release of our 2024 Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc.
