Fancy affordable Kiwi plonk? Tee up a drink at UBS.
The Swiss bank is confidentially courting trade and private equity buyers for New Zealand’s most awarded winery, Villa Maria Estate.
UBS is in the market for Villa Maria Estates.
It is understood UBS is formally mandated to find Villa Maria a new investor or new owner and has a handful of interested parties counting barrels and tasting wine as part of a two part auction.
Sources said the auction was into the second and binding bid phase, and has included participation from some well known Australian private equity players to date.
