NEW ZEALAND WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The first vineyard in New Zealand to plant Gewürztraminer, this is a clean fruit-driven style with richness and great aromatics.

The harvest decisions at Matawhero are made after the winemaker and viticulturist concur that the grapes are flavour ready. The grapes are harvested while still cool, transported quickly to the winery and then crushed to the press.

The crushed grapes were kept in the press for several hours to maximise the spice and floral characters of this wonderful Gisborne variety.

Once slightly clarified, the juice was carefully fermented using cool temperatures and an aroma enhancing yeast to maintain these vibrant characters in the final wine. The wine was gently fined using traditional methods before being filtered and bottled.

About Matawhero Wines

The Matawhero journey started with two New Zealand wine pioneers from the 1960s. Today the story continues around the drive and determination of Kirsten and Richard Searle. who purchased the Matawhero vineyard and winery in Gisborne from Denis in 2008. They are the trusted Kaitiaki (guardians) of Matawhero and continue to develop the iconic winery and share the distinctive wine styles of the Tairawhiti-Gisborne region. They produce famous New Zealand Chardonnay and other wines including aromatics like Gewürztraminer and lovely Reds.

The Matawhero winery and vineyards in Gisborne were purchased by Kirsten and Richard Searle in 2008 from New Zealand pioneer winemaker Denis Irwin. After a rigorous process on Denis’s part to ensure that the baton was being passed to someone equally as passionate about wine and the region as he was, he willed us on and the hard work began replanting and revitalising the historic winery.

Their love of the region runs deep, Richard grew up here and with a family history of growing grapes they wouldn’t want to be doing anything else!
