At Te Rata  we make natural, organic wines.

Our vision is to craft wine which  reflect the uniqueness of  time and place = our vineyards, and each vintage. They are hand made in small batches from carefully selected organic grapes we grow in Matakana - a premium region North of Auckland, New Zealand.

We’ve gone out on a natural winemaking limb and manipulate our wines the absolute minimum amount possible. This style of winemaking  represents an excellent way to express a sense of place, of terroir. We do not eschew modernity, but we favor techniques that help to express the natural terroir rather than new-fangled modern ones that tend to homogenize wine styles and erase individuality.We also keep our wines preservative free where possible.  The result is a premium range of  wines with an undeniable aliveness and exceptional depth of flavour.
