Business Description
|
Villa Maria is one of New Zealand's leading winemakers. It's a family owned New Zealand winery founded in 1961 by its current owner and Managing Director, George Fistonich, Villa Maria is 100% New Zealand owned.
Villa Maria has been New Zealand's leading wine award winner, both nationally and internationally since the early 1980's.
A Cork free zone
After extensive research in the 1990's, Villa Maria made the decision to introduce Stelvin screwcap closures across all ranges. Villa Maria was the first major wine company in the world to declare the winery a “cork free zone”, with all wines produced as of 2004 sealed with a screwcap. George Fistonich believes the consistency of wines under screwcap is one of the contributing factors to the company’s incredible success recently.
