Northland & Matakana
Northland and Matakana sit north of Auckland, producing structured reds in one of New Zealand’s warmest wine regions. If you’re looking to buy Matakana wine online in NZ, this range spans boutique estates. These run from the Karikari Peninsula down to Matakana itself. Most bottles are made in genuinely small quantities.
Explore Northland and Matakana wines
You’ll find Matakana wine from Gillman Vineyard and Providence, alongside Northland reds from Karikari Estate on the Karikari Peninsula. Karikari Estate produces Merlot, Pinotage, and Syrah in small volumes. Many of these wines are available nowhere else in Auckland.
This collection brings together Matakana wine and wines from farther north, so check the named origin on each product page when choosing. Providence and Gillman Vineyard provide a starting point for exploring Matakana’s red blends; Karikari Estate adds Northland bottles labelled by varieties such as Syrah, Merlot and Pinotage.
Gillman Vineyard’s 2019 Matakana red combines Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Its tasting notes move from red fruit towards earthy, savoury flavours, with fine-grained tannins. The range includes both a full bottle and a smaller format of that vintage, useful when choosing for a meal or a gift.
