The iconic New Zealand winery, Villa Maria, is launching its first organic wine range to meet the rising global demand for sustainable produce, as part of its commitment to converting 100% of its company vineyards to be organically managed by 2030. 

Organic winemaking is a journey Villa Maria has been on for over 20 years. Partnering with nature and cultivating wines using organic practice allows us to produce wine that is true to the earth, and to take care of the land we all share. But more than just being kind to our planet, organic winemaking fully encapsulates our key values in innovation, creativity, quality and sustainability. 

And with that our first range of fully organic and vegan-friendly* wines were born, showcasing organically grown wines that reflect the thriving New Zealand lands that gave them life. We’ve called this premium organic wine range EarthGarden.

The exciting new EarthGarden range includes Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020, Hawke’s Bay Rosé 2020, Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019 and Hawke’s Bay Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2019. Each of these sustainable sippers is uniquely delicious, each vibrant, juicy and bursting with flavour. From the lively soils that ripen the grapes combined with minimal human intervention, EarthGarden is the purest expression of Marlborough and Hawke's Bay terroir - the land, soil, climate and environment - and a true reflection of the natural flavour of the grapes. Villa Maria's organic wine-growing practices mean they're able to craft wines with lifted aromatics and flavours that are fresh, fruit-forward and alive - just as nature intended.

100% organically grown and BioGro certified, every grape used to make the EarthGarden range is grown in pesticide-free vineyards and untreated, pesticide-free soil.

EarthGarden triumphs the strong sustainability credentials and continued commitment to organic wine growing. This range also marks an important step towards Villa Maria's ambitious target to manage all owned vineyards organically by 2030. It’s another step in the continued dedication to regenerative viticultural practices, ensuring our environments in this beautiful corner of the world aren’t just protected but are thriving.

With Villa Maria's flair for award-winning wines, when you choose EarthGarden you know you are selecting locally produced wines crafted by one of New Zealand’s most loved and admired brands. Providing a premium wine range that meets sustainable lifestyle and ethical consumption choices, this range is a sustainable showcase of the best of kiwi winemaking.

But don’t just take our word for it. Join us in raising a toast to these sustainable sippers and unearth our beautiful new range of premium organic wines. Click here to shop the full range! 

*All EarthGarden 2020 wines are vegan except for the Pinot Noir which will become vegan in the 2021 vintage.

EarthGarden Tasting Notes

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

The Sauvignon Blanc has lifted aromas of citrus fruits, lime and grapefruit that leap from the glass. The flavours on the palate showcase fresh herbs, lemongrass, and passionfruit. The intense fresh fruit concentration is balanced with zesty acidity and is perfectly thirst-quenching.

Hawke’s Bay Rose 2020

This Hawke’s Bay Rosé showcases summer-provoking aromas of blood-orange, rosehip, and watermelon. The palate is rich and moreish, finishing refreshingly dry.

Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019

This Pinot Noir expresses black fruits such as boysenberries and blueberries with subtle floral notes and gentle acidity. The cocoa powder tannins and smoky toasty notes add complexity with a generous earthy textural finish.

Hawke’s Bay Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Deep, purple-coloured hues lead to a perfumed nose of dark fruits, cocoa, sweet vanilla, and clove spices. The full-bodied palate is soft and generous with ripe fruit, silky tannins, and a smooth finish.
