The Keltern Vineyard, established in 1999, sits east of Maraekakaho and hugs the western edge of the Bridge Pa Triangle and the Ngaruroro river. This unique site has over time become synonymous with exceptional Chardonnay. The nose offers a fragrant and complex medley of ripe melon, citrus blossom and nougat, complemented by underlying notes of grilled nuts. The palate is generous and mouth-filling initially then the long line of concentration and natural acidity leads to a sustained and powerful finish.

Ngakirikiri refers to the unique soils that define the Gimblett Gravels growing appellation, uniquely situated on the former Ngaruroro riverbed which was left exposed following a historically significant flood event which permanently changed the rivers course in 1867.

Ngakirikiri is only made when great vintages produce truly outstanding wines for consideration. This flagship wines represents the pinnacle of their winemaking achievements and a milestone in Villa Maria's history.
