Villa Maria wins five golds at The Spiegelau International Wine Competition 2013 We have limited stocks of the Gold Medal winning Villa Maria Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012 at Lion Liquor ... Monday 24 June 2013 Villa Maria – winning with consistency Five golds for five different varieties demonstrate Villa Maria’s ability to create exceptional wines across many varietals. The announcement of The Spiegelau International Wine Competition 2013 results confirm the highly awarded wine company’s ample talents at making highly consistent premium New Zealand wine. Villa Maria founder and managing director Sir George Fistonich said when it comes to Villa Maria wines there is no specialty, they’re all absolutely top of the range. “We put a lot of focus into vineyard selection and putting in top teams to manage those sites. To pick up five gold medals for five different varieties is certainly a good indicator of the quality and consistency we’re producing across our range. New Zealand made its name on Sauvignon Blanc but it’s important we don’t become overly reliant on just one variety and that’s why we put a lot of effort into creating excellent wines across many varietals,” he said.
