Our Wines
Small batch. Low intervention. Made by hand, from the whenua.
Our wines are made with a low-intervention approach, allowing the character of the fruit, season, and place to come through naturally. We work by hand wherever we can - each wine is hand bottled, corked, and labelled in small quantities.
The first wines of Te Huringa are coming soon.
For now, they rest in bottle while they continue to settle & develop.
