Our te Pā Reserve Collection 2023 'Seaside' Sauvignon Blanc is becoming one of our cult-classics 🌊🥂🏆

This sophisticated drop, grown just 160m from the ocean at the closest point, is receiving rave reviews from the world's leading wine critics, and building a strong following of Sauv Blanc fans from Aotearoa-New Zealand, to the UK, Germany, to Vietnam, and China, who want something a little more refined and interesting than a standard SB.

And the Seaside Sauv has struck again, this time with a stunning 17 / 20 points from the famed Jancis Robinson wine review team. A score of 17 means the wine is deemed to be 'Superior', which we couldn't agree with more! Master of Wine and JR reviewer Julia Harding said of our Seaside Sauv:

"Rich passion-fruit aroma and flavour. Contrasting with the lightly salty freshness on the palate. Tastes dry, finely textured – dry finish. Mouth-watering and harmonious between fruit and freshness. Persistent and surprisingly youthful."

We're loving this review from one of the world's great wine reviewers! Find us on Wine Searcher for global stockists, or get in touch directly if you'd like to list, stock, or import this stunning drop: www.tepawines.com/blogs/journal/new-reviews-on-jancisrobinson-com

WINE ENTHUSIAST EDITOR'S CHOICE 🏆

We're celebrating the success of our gorgeous te Pā 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Oke, which has just been awarded the Wine Enthusiast 'Editor's Choice' pick for the latest issue.

Editor's Choice wines are carefully selected, and these wines; "Are products that offer excellent quality at a price above our Best Buy range, or a product at any price with unique qualities that merit special attention."

Check out the stunning review and whopping 94 point score below:

"This oak-aged wine, from unique, ultramaritime blocks owned by the Māori family, the MacDonalds, drinks more like a white Bordeaux than your typical Marlborough Savvy B. It’s nutty and smoky, with a mineral thread through the lemon and grapefruit. It all comes together on the palate where a rush of mouthwatering, salted, citric acidity is padded out by the creamier, toastier textural elements. With beautiful linearity and tautness, this should age gracefully for another seven-to-eight years. But why wait? It’s drinking deliciously now. Banville Wine Merchants. Editor’s Choice. —C.P."

In addition to our gorgeous Oke enjoying this critical success, we are so proud that our Koha Sauvignon Blanc was also awarded a 'Best Buy' award from Wine Enthusiast!

As well as being the Editor's Choice, our te Pā Sauvignon Blanc Oke was the highest scoring New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the whole tasting, so we are absolutely delighted with the result. We thank Christina Pickard and the Wine Enthusiast for the endorsements and aroha! Find this wine in the USA, UK, South Korea, Japan, and soon... China. Available winery direct here in NZ.

The 21st of May is International Chardonnay Day, and as big fans of this famous varietal, we are only too happy to raise a glass of this delicious, complex, sophisticated drop!

Chardonnay is the most widely drunk white wine in the world so we wanted to explore why Chardonnay is so beloved:

☀️ It fits the moment; Chardonnay is equally at home at a long lunch, elegant dinner, or a quiet glass at golden hour.

🍴It’s one of wine’s great food partners; from fresh seafood like salmon, scallops, or prawns, to a classic roast chicken to creamy pasta and truffle, and fine cheeses.

🍑 It offers beautiful complexity, with layers of citrus, stone fruit, brioche and subtle oak, all balanced by freshness and texture.

Classic, versatile, and always sophisticated. Chardonnay never goes out of style ✨ Tag the biggest Chardonnay lover in your life so they know today's their day!

Tim Atkin is one of the UK's most trusted wine personalities, with a dedicated following and widespread media presence.

The Master of Wine recently tasted and reviewed our gorgeous te Pā 2025 Signature Series Rosé and he enjoyed it so much, he gave it a fab 91 point score and made it one of his 'Wines of the Week'. Check out the delicious review below:

"A wine for people who like a bit of colour in their rosés and are bored of the identikit stuff from Provence, this is an appealingly unusual blend of mostly Pinot Noir with 3% Riesling and 2% Merlot from Marlborough in New Zealand. Just off dry, it’s reminiscent of a Tavel from the Rhône Valley, with raspberry, pink grapefruit and red cherry flavours, a nip of tannin and more than enough acidity to lift and freshen the finish."

With another glowing endorsement in the bag, this Rosé is the perfect drop for the UK spring and summer season. Available exclusively in Co-op stores around the UK for just £10.25, this is one to try. Tag the Rosé wine lover in your life so they can find this hot new drop! 🌹🥂🍓

She describes our te Pā 2024 Pinot Noir below:

"Offers an impressive mix of black cherry, plum and date-nut bread, with hints of bittersweet chocolate, black tea, star anise and fennel seed. Black licorice, forest floor and porcini notes linger. Drink now through 2037." 🍒🍫🍞🍂☕️

💸💰TOP VALUE NEW ZEALAND RIESLING 💰💸

Today we are SO excited to share that our gorgeous new release te Pā 2025 Riesling has been ranked as the Number One 'Top Value' New Zealand Riesling by popular online wine website, The Real Review. Scoring a stunning 93 points, but with a retail price coming in at NZD$20 or less, this wine is a beautiful, off-dry style that is just as good with fresh oysters, kina (sea urchin) or white fish, as it is enjoyed by itself after a busy week.

Check out the mouth-watering review that The Real Review wine critic and Master of Wine, Stephen Wong, wrote about this special drop:

"A very racy and light-bodied, medium-dry riesling where the streak of mouth-watering acidity zips right through the palate, keeping everything linear and focused. Finely pithy phenolics and notable sweetness meet on the low-alcohol palate to create an impression of light airiness. The Granny Smith apple, sweet mandarin, ginger and calamansi lime flavours are intense and sharply delineated, right to the fine-tuned, tight finish."

🍏🍋‍🟩🍊🫚🥂 YUM!

Available in select New World FreshChoice PAK'nSAVE supermarkets & select liquor stores across Aotearoa-New Zealand. Also available in Vietnam and Japan, this deliciously easy-drinking, lower alcohol white wine is worth seeking out. Get in touch for your local stockist or find it online, today!

Your new favourite Spring food & wine pairing = sorted ✔️🌸🌱

Our te Pā Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc just got the a big tick of approval from The Observer in the UK as a top pick for asparagus season — fresh, vibrant and made for the table.

Renowned wine critic David Williams says of our wine:

"I rather like the sheer flavoury intensity of pitting super-fresh asparagus against the grassy tones, gooseberry, guava and elderflower of a classic Marlborough sauvignon such as Te Pa Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc..."

This is a major moment for our team, and we are all so proud to have one of our flagship wines recommended in such an influential and trusted publication. Available in Tesco supermarkets and on-line across the United Kingdom, and offering incredible value and quality, you are missing a trick if you haven't tried this wine yet! 🇬🇧

We're so proud to be featured in an extensive new profile piece on TheBuyer UK, where we chatted to The Buyer journalist Richard Siddle about te Pā's journey as a business, how we make our wines, and about the level of care and passion we put in every day.

The article comes at a pivotal time for our presence in the UK, after recently launching two exciting new wines into major supermarket chain Co-op, growing our te Pā Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc in Tesco, and increasing our premium listings in great wine shops and restaurants, with our te Pā Reserve Collection range and te Pā Sauvignon Blanc Oke.

So, settle in with a cuppa (or a glass of vino, depending on what time zone you're in!) and enjoy this interesting read that we hope will bring you even closer to our wines, our people, and our story.
