OUR WINES
Matakana Estate has always been at the forefront of local winemaking since this premium boutique wine region was first developed some 30 years ago. Our winemaking philosophy is to capture the essence of New Zealand’s finest grape varieties from the regions where they grow best. Our Matakana vineyard produces award-winning Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Gris. We also seek out premium grapes from Hawke Bay and Marlborough to complete our wine portfolio to showcase the best of New Zealand wine regions.
ME RANGE
Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc
These are our classic wines made to be shared with friends and family. These wines are fresh, lively and easy to please any crowd.
reserve range
Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris
Using the premium grapes from the harvest, we take extra care in the winemaking process to make sure that the final wine will be the best representation of the terroir and made to have cellaring potential to further enhance the flavour profile.
LIMITED EDITION
Syrah, Cab Franc Merlot
Only made in the years where the harvest yielded exceptional quality. These wines are intense and rich in complexity and depth. Made in small limited quantities and especially for special occasions.
New Zealand’s finest wine regions
Our philosophy has always been to capture the essence of New Zealand’s finest grape varieties from the regions where they grow best, so as well as making wines from our own substantial Matakana vineyards, we seek out limited amounts of premium grapes from selected wine regions across New Zealand to make the very best wines we can.
