520 _a"Over the past 15 years, the New Zealand industry has increasingly globalised, as international corporates take dominant role in its wine production. But Villa Maria has always fiercely guarded its independence as a family company. That independence can be tracked back to the day in 1961 when young George Fistonich told his Croatian immigrant father that he wanted to quit his job as a builder and take over the tiny family winery. In the 50 years since, he has turned a cottage business into a widely admired company that produces some of New Zealand's very best wines, for which it has won a multitude of local and international awards." -- Back cover.
