Introducing Villa Maria Reserve Méthode Traditionnelle

Just in time for the festive summer season, Villa Maria has added an exquisite new offering to its premium range with the launch of Villa Maria Reserve Méthode Traditionnelle.

100% grown and produced in Marlborough, this complex and elegant wine is made from a traditional blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, hand-picked from selected blocks across the Wairau and Awatere valleys.

Villa Maria Global Brand Manager, Annemarie Webber, says the new wine is set to be a popular addition to the range. “In the past two years, Villa Maria has successfully launched two sparkling wine offerings – Villa Maria Cuvée Brut and Villa Maria Brut Rosé – and consumers have embraced these wines. Villa Maria Reserve Méthode Traditionnelle meets consumers’ growing desire to drink premium sparkling wine and continues Villa Maria’s reputation for providing exceptional wines and wine styles that consumers know and love.”

Set the scene with elegant and durable Terre Glassware

Terre Glassware was created by Dan Gillett, founder of New Zealand-based wine import and distributor Wine Diamonds, who had become tired of breaking expensive wine glasses at his own venues.

After almost eight months working on designs, prototypes and production techniques the first Terre glass was born: the Universal wine glass. Inspired by Dan’s favourite wine glasses – Zalto, Riedel, Jancis, and Gabriel – the result was a brilliant yet unique combination of something light and fine, with a beautiful bowl shape, yet durable.

Terre Glassware strikes a fine balance between elegance, durability, functionality and affordability. It is available in a Champagne glass, a Burgundy glass and two decanters. All the glassware is dishwasher-safe and good for everyday use, yet special enough for use in fine dining settings.

Terre Glassware is found in some of New Zealand’s best restaurants and is now exported around the world too. A trade-in programme is available, and Terre Glassware can also arrange custom printing.
