Te Motu Vineyard, founded in 1988 by the Dunleavy family, is one of Waiheke Island’s pioneering wineries, nestled in the sun-drenched Onetangi Valley. With its sheltered, north-facing slopes and ancient Jurassic soils, the estate offers a perfect setting for crafting bold, expressive wines with serious aging potential. Specializing in Bordeaux-style blends, their flagship wine, "Te Motu," is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led masterpiece that matures for years before release, reflecting both tradition and terroir. The lineup also includes the vibrant Merlot-dominant ‘Kokoro’ and more recently a foray into a Beaujolais-style "Onetangi Nouveau" chilled red—each telling a story of place, passion, and craftsmanship. Te Motu is more than just a vineyard—it’s a family legacy poured into every glass.
