Villa Maria Winemakers

Villa Maria’s winemaking team is one of the most talented and experienced in the country.

The winemakers work closely together to produce the highest quality wines possible, while allowing their individual flair to translate to the finished product.

Many of Villa Maria’s senior winemakers over the past 18 years have received a Winemaker of the Year award. Some, like current General Manager Winemaking and Viticulture, Alastair Maling MW, have received it more than once.
