The Single Vineyard wines are the very best Villa Maria has to offer, throw in the outstanding 2021 vintage and you have some very compelling buying!


Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Handpicked from a small area within the Joseph Soler Vineyard, whole bunches were gently pressed with the finest juice settled prior to being racked to our concrete 'egg' vessel for fermentation and maturation. This richly flavoured wine displays pure and expressive characters of peach and sweet lemon entwined with subtle salty and mineral notes, leading to a textural palate and a long finish.

The 2021 vintage was highly regarded with a warm and dry summer resulting in one of the earliest starts to harvest in Hawkes Bay ever. The settled weather allowed picking to occur at optimum ripeness without any disease pressure. These vineyard and seasonal conditions have produced an Albariño with intense aromatics and flavours and lashings of the trademark acidity which the grape is famous for."


5 Stars Yvonne Lorkin, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Incredibly cleansing, this local version of a Spanish classic roars with green apple, pear, quince, lemon, lime and summer flowers on the nose and erupts with zesty citrus complexity on the palate. Fermented very gently as a single parcel in a concrete egg vat, the result is an albariño with delicious salinity and a powerful length of flavour. It’s precise yet wild and seriously attractive."


5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Beautifully styled and elegantly aromatic, the wine shows apricot, fig, lemon peel and subtle flinty notes on the nose, leading to a brilliantly focused palate displaying excellent weight and linear mouthfeel. Finely textured and persistent with an engaging finish. At its best: now to 2027."


Reviews for the 2020 vintage below…


5 Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"Estate-grown and hand-harvested in the Joseph Soler vineyard, and fermented in a concrete, egg-shaped vat, the classy 2020 vintage is still unfolding. Bright, light lemon/green, it is strongly scented and full-bodied, with penetrating, citrusy, slightly spicy flavours, lees-aging notes adding complexity, zesty acidity and a long, dry (2.7 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish. Best drinking 2022+."
