Our Passion

It comes down to the original Vision of the owners, and the sharing of it by all of the close knit team at Matariki Wines.

Matariki Wines is a family owned winery, still managed hands on by Hawkes Bay resident proprietors John and Rosemary O'Connor. Their original Vision, to realise the full potential of what the Gimblett Road region of Hawkes Bay can produce has seen them embark on a quest of over 20 years towards bringing this dream to reality.

Gold in the Air New Zealand Wine Awards

The search for this Grail is a never ending one but the Wines of Matariki, the critical acclaim received and trophies and awards achieved, suggest they are on the right track.
