Villa Maria leads the way

For the first time, a New Zealand wine brand has placed in the top three Most Admired Wine Brands in the World. These awards are operated by Drinks International, a world leader in the drinks magazine industry, as well as global research company Wine Intelligence. More than 130 industry experts judge the awards.
