Vintage Fruit Receival - Fairhall

About Us

Founded in 2003, Indevin is New Zealand’s leading producer of high-quality wine. Our grapes come from over 6,000 hectares of planted vineyards and blended in our wineries across three of the great New Zealand wine regions - Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay, and Gisborne - giving us a scale and consistency of supply unmatched in New Zealand wine. 

We’re all about authenticity and transparency so rather than bombard you with corporate jargon– here’s the real Indevin:

• We’re a good ol’ Kiwi company who is proud to be a wine industry leader and we have years of hard work to thank for it.
• Our business is proudly spearheaded by the Villa Maria Brand.
• We take our work, but not ourselves, too seriously.
• We work with people from all over the world because our diversity makes us stronger.
• We’re very passionate about what we do. We love wine, sharing our knowledge and making Indevin an inspiring place to work.
