Villiera Wines
This spring, the Villiera team shares news from the farm, their latest wine awards, wine specials, and more.

As the warmth of spring touches the vineyards, they come alive with a beautiful floral display befitting the season. Our team has been hard at work preparing the vineyards for planting new vines.

Alongside this, we completed upgrades to our bottling and disgorging lines, enabling us to bring even more precision to the bottling of our upcoming vintages – a season of fresh releases is on the horizon!

We are also proud to share that Villiera has received several prestigious awards recently. Most notably, our Villiera Pithos received a Medal of Excellence for Sparkling Wine Discovery of the Year in Tim Atkin's 2024 SA Special Report.
