te Pā Wines

te Pā, which is the Maori phrase for 'our place, our home', is owned and operated by Haysley MacDonald and his family.  The family can trace their occupation of land at the historically important Wairau Bar to the earliest known settlement by Maori, over 800 hundred years ago. This means that the terroir is well and truly in their blood. 

Formed where the Wairau River meets the Pacific Ocean, the Wairau Bar combines rich topsoil with free-flowing alluvial deposits, allowing te Pa Wines to produce outstanding single vineyard expressions. te Pā was established in 2011 and remains a family-run enterprise.  Halsey is joined by his partner Julie, his parents Phillip & Christine, and his 5 children. Beginning with 100 hectares, te Pā now has over 500 hectares of vineyards spanning across the Wairau Bar and the Awatere Valley in Marlborough.

te Pā lead winemaker, Sam Bennett, believes in respecting the fruit, the people, the land, and the process. As such, te Pā has created five series of wines that clearly express the land and the fruit it produces.  Varietals produced include Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay and stylistically - still, sparkling, and dessert wines.
