Chardonnay is harvested throughout the cool of early morning, parcels are crushed and gently pressed. To ensure a soft and intensely flavoured wine, pressings are kept apart and separately handled. Juices are treated to a long cool vinification in controlled fermenters to retain vitality and crisp fruit characters. An occasional lees stirring and course of malolactic serve to enrich the palate. A select component is filled to a selection of French oak barriques for an extravagant old world style of barrel ferments, adding complexity and infusing textural richness. Upon completion, batches are held on gross lees for several months before assemblage and filtration into the finished wine.
 
Pale straw hues. Ripe tropical fruits, peach and kernel aromas dominate the bouquet, pear notes with underlying citrus and fig characters. A big palate of stonefruit flavours, crisp apple notes and creamy, mealy textures are supported by well integrated nougat oak. A medium bodied wine that's generous on the bouquet yet soft on the palate, styled for immediate enjoyment right now.

A minimalistic approach is employed throughout the winemaking process to complement what has been painstakingly achieved in the vineyard. Merlot grapes are destemmed and crushed into fermentation vessels. Fruit is pumped over and plunged several times daily for optimal extraction rich of colour, flavour and and just the right amount of gentle, soft tannins. Following the press and completion of malolactic, a component is transferred to a selection of seasoned French and American oak barriques for a year's maturation. Free range organic egg whites are employed to naturally soften the wine's tannins prior to filtration into bottle.
 
Deep crimson hues. The nose offers lifted ripe fruit aromas of blood plums and bramble along with dark chocolate oak. Vibrant red plum and berry fruits over subtle spice and cedar undertones. An abundance of dark fruit are paired with fine grained tannins to give a generous and rounded mouthfeel of great intensity and persistence. The full, textured palate and soft tannins make Villa Maria an excellent food wine.

Pinot Gris is harvested throughout the cool of early morning and gently pressed while still icy cold, to preserve aromatics and minimise phenolic pick up. After three days of cold settle, the clear juices are racked off solids and inoculated to Alsation yeasts chosen for their ability to enhance body, texture and varietal aromas. A cool vinification at 13° to 15° in chilled fermenters preserves freshness of fruit, contributing elegance and finesse. Ferments are arrested, retaining some residual sugar, to balance the mineral and fine phenolic structure. A course of lees stirring batonnage, enhances texture and contributes to the depth of palate, to be followed by assemblage into the finished wine. Alcohol 13.5%
 
Light straw peach hue. This lovely example of Nelson Pinot Gris has aromas of pear drops, candied apple, fresh figs and Mirabelle plums. An off-dry entry leads into a textured mid-palate, with nice acidity on the sides, the wine ends with a soft, non-bitter finish. Good concentration of fruit weight gives the wine real presence on the palate and with the balanced palate architecture creates an elegant wine that is very versatile with food.
