Honoring Nature and Legacy at Māwhitipana Ridge Estate

Māwhitipana Ridge Estate is a single-site vineyard located on Waiheke Island in a sunny coastal valley, producing limited vintages of premium Syrah and Marsanne.

We are two families with a shared passion for creating something special, with ‘awata’ or soul. Together, we are deeply committed to kaitiakitanga - protecting and enhancing the land or life force for our children, future generations, and the local community. Our legacy is to respect and restore this land to a sustainable future.

Hand-produced, our wine naturally expresses the character of our site, from the heavy clay soil to the coastal elements, sunny slopes, and low-intervention, sustainable growing techniques. With award-winning winemakers, Michael Wood and Heinrich Storm we produce wine in a way that honors the distinct characteristics of the unique site, soil, and vines.
