✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Villa Maria, founded in 1961 by Sir George Fistonich, has played a pioneering role in putting New Zealand's red wines on the global map. This Private Bin Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot showcases the unique terroir of Hawke's Bay, one of the country's oldest and sunniest wine-growing regions. Here, maritime breezes and diverse soils—ranging from clay-loam to alluvial gravels—provide the ideal conditions for ripening Bordeaux varieties. The blend combines the structural definition, dark cassis, and herbal lift of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fleshy, plum-forward richness of Merlot. Crafted in an approachable, fruit-driven style, the wine undergoes careful fermentation and modest oak aging to soften the tannins while preserving its vibrant, youthful energy and bright fruit character.
