For over 60 years, Villa Maria has crafted bold, expressive wines that showcase the very best of New Zealand’s vineyards. Today, it remains the UK’s No.1 New Zealand wine brand, a trusted favourite perfect for festive hosting and seasonal celebrations.
The Private Bin sauvignon blanc is its most famous export, a classic, archetypal New Zealand white that pairs brilliantly with smoked salmon starters and a festive cheese course. But the Private Bin range extends far beyond, and there’s something to suit every taste and palate around the table. For crisp melon and peach notes, the East Coast chardonnay and pinot grigio are staples, easy drinking options that are suitable for any occasion.
For the main event itself, whether you’re serving traditional roast turkey or special beef wellington, choose one of Villa Maria’s full-bodied reds. The pinot noir balances bright red cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit with gentle spice, while the merlot from Hawkes Bay features dark cherry and plum with a light touch of vanilla. What ever the festive occasion, Villa Maria has you covered.
Looking for stocking fillers that are actually good? Villa Maria has downsized its iconic Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc and delivered it in a can. With bright citrus, fresh tropical notes, and that signature crisp finish, this is perfect for filling up stockings with something you actually want.
Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc (200ml can) is available in retailers such as Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys and Tesco, and in wine specialists nationwide. RRP £3.75
