Wine columnist DENNIS KNILL reviews Indevin’s range of sauvignon blanc wines
In the short space of twenty-years Indevin has emerged as a leading producer and exporter of fine wines and a vision to be one of the world’s great wineries. Growing their wine portfolio and taking their recent acquisition of Villa Maria Estate to a new level continues to be a major focus
With a wide assortment of wine labels, Villa Maria is not only a household name but one that continues to push the boundaries with countless awards both here and abroad. Founded by Sir George Fistonich in 1961, George crept cautiously into the wine industry producing hock as his first vintage. Today Villa Maria is a global brand producing a flagship of sauvignon blanc wines that have proven to be some of the best and most affordable in the country
