our WINES
We produce wines that are very distinct. Silky spicy Pinot Noir, elegant, generous Chardonnay, sophisticated, textural Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé with a cult following. We have a real curiosity to keep experimenting and perfecting. So long as it is a true expression of where we are.
Te Kairanga Estate
From our vineyards across Martinborough, Te Kairanga Estate wines are a true expression of our Martinborough appellation.
-
SAUVIGNON BLANC
Harmonious, lifted aromas full of tropical fruits, melon and nectarine are balanced by floral and herbal notes. The palate is bright, smoothly textured and dry, with vibrant, refreshing characters for which Martinborough is renowned for.
-
PINOT GRIS
Fragrant exotic fruits and spice are front and centre in our Pinot Gris. Full of texture with aromas of cashew, pear, and white peach. A lovely even flow leads to a lingering finish with ripe pear, quince, nectarine in harmony with savoury flavours.
-
RIESLING
Dry in style, with fragrant aromas of honeysuckle, chalk & jasmine blossom. A rich palate with flavours of Meyer lemon & mandarin is balanced by a mineral acidity and a refreshing zingy finish.

Runholder & John Martin
The best expressions of Te Kairanga and our special Martinborough terroir. Crafted with parcels of fruit from our Martinborough Terrace vineyards – the Home and McLeod Vineyards. All three wines are a nod to Martinborough’s namesake, John Martin, whose original landholdings now bears our vines. This land was once farmed with sheep by John Martin, earning him the name of ‘Runholder’ and the name of our Runholder Pinot Noir.
John Martin Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are made from our best vineyard parcels and some of the oldest vines in the region.
