Matakana Estate is a well-known Matakana winery that has been at the forefront of local winemaking since this premium, boutique wine region was first developed some 30 years ago. Like many respected New Zealand wineries, Matakana Estate was established by descendants of Croatian migrants who originally settled in and around Auckland more than 100 years ago. From the very beginning, our Matakana winery established itself as a producer of top-quality wines, attracting attention and plaudits worldwide, and winning a number of awards in international wine competitions.
