All the wines are made with grapes grown in our Mahurangi River Vineyard in the Matakana Wine Region just north of Auckland.
As a small family run operation, our wines celebrate the variations from one vintage to another, which makes each wine unique. In this way we avoid the manufactured uniformity which characterises much of the wine available today.
Winners of the 2010 Manaakitanga Hospitality and Sustainability Award for “Outstanding Winery Experience”, visitors to the vineyard enjoy wine tasting at the cellar door, food and wine matched offerings at the winebar, contemporary N.Z. winery architecture, and captivating views of the vineyard and the wider vista.
Frequently described in publications as a “must visit” New Zealand vineyard & winery, Ransom Wines makes a great day trip from Auckland.
