When Andrew and Charlotte purchased a home on the 'Island of Wine', Waiheke Island, they made an exciting discovery. The land that was to become Matiatia vineyard, was in fact part of their own backyard. It was this intimate piece of land surrounded by breath-taking views that inspired the name Postage Stamp. Andrew and Charlotte then took over the View East Vineyard near the small coastal settlement of Orapiu. View East boasts a stunning location rich with legacy and history, first planted by Daren and Bridgit Day in 2001. And so the journey began from wine as a hobby to wine as a business. They saw in Daren and Bridgit's story a spirit epitomizing Waiheke Island's wine makers, and the land they put their hearts and souls into cultivating. 2017 saw them take over a Chardonnay vineyard located near Waiheke’s Cable Bay area. Fast-forwarding to the present day, there are exciting developments on the horizon for Postage Stamp Wines. A 10-acre property purchased on the bustling Onetangi Road strip is now the location of Waiheke's newest Cellar Door. Having now been open for just a few weeks, they're offering visitors Waiheke’s newest boutique wine-tasting experience. More information on this can be found on social media pages, or by sending an inquiry. As well as the opening of a new Cellar Door, Postage Stamp has launched a handful of new wine varieties to join the existing collection. These include the flavoursome Summer Red - called Pohutukawa (tree of summer) made from Syrah grapes, a fresh and light-bodied sparkling Rosé made with grapes from their View East Vineyard, and a unique and sophisticated Marsanne blend, using grapes from the Matiatia home plot. The Cellar Door is open and there will be complimentary wine tasting happening at the Waiheke Wine Centre on Friday's from 4 till 6pm all month long! Come join us to discover everything you need to know about this new and exciting wine experience.
