Matua
Matua (meaning ‘Head of the Family’ in Māori) began with a vision shared by Bill and Ross Spence – to revolutionise the New Zealand wine industry by making wines with the best fruit from the best vineyards, a philosophy which stands today.
Squealing Pig
We make wine – so do lots of people. Actually, we make smokin’ hot moreish wine from New Zealand, Australia, Spain and Italy.
We are serious about wine without the boaring bits. Relax, it’s just wine!
Fickle Mistress
She’s a minx and the devil in disguise.
With a perfume seductive and flavours - alluring, she’ll make you cry with joy and weep with pain.
A prima donna in the vineyard, she’ll perform only when conditions are perfect, but she’ll reward you with the performance of a lifetime.
She is fickle but she is charming, she is temperamental but bewitching. She is the Fickle Mistress.
Shingle Peak
Shingle Peak, our majestic namesake, stands untouched among Marlborough’s ancient mountain ranges. Since 1983 it’s pure and timeless beauty has been the muse for our philosophy, ‘to capture the pure essence of the grape’.
We apply this philosophy relentlessly, picking our fruit at optimum flavour ripeness, and ensuring our winemaking expertise focuses on protecting and enhancing the pure fruit flavours, be it for our award-winning Reserve or Heartland ranges.
BLACK GRAPE SOCIETY
Black Grape Society is solely dedicated to producing New Zealand’s finest Pinot Noir.
This single-minded focus ensures nothing gets in the way of crafting something truly exceptional. It is a showcase of the knowledge, passion and dedication that is required to turn one of the most difficult grapes varieties, into one of the most exciting wines.
PENFOLDS
Penfolds has been producing an impressive array of wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine into the modern era.
The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then, a series of standout wines, both white and red, have been released under the Penfolds masthead. The house style at Penfolds embraces the concepts of multi-regional blending, optimum fruit quality, the use of fine-grained American (and increasingly French) oak and most often, barrel fermentation and maturation.
Without the constraints of a single vineyard, Penfolds winemakers continue to choose the best possible fruit, showcasing the outstanding characteristics of each vineyard.

Wolf Blass was established in the Barossa Valley in 1966 and has grown from a humble tin shed to become one of the world’s most successful and awarded wine brands. The essence of Wolf Blass wines is exemplified through the passion of its custodians, past and present as they continuously strive to produce wines of quality, character, and consistency.

sALTRAM
Saltram and the Barossa Valley form one of Australia’s greatest winemaking partnerships.
From a collection of old vine vineyards surrounding the historic Saltram winery, full-bodied wines are crafted, built on a core of intense fruit supported by subtle oak influences.
WYNNS COONAWARRA ESTATE
Wynns Coonawarra Estate was the first winery to be established in the Coonawarra, by John Riddoch in 1896.
The winery is located on the world-famous strip of ‘Terra Rossa’ soil that produces fruit of an exceptionally high quality, particularly the region’s best-known variety – Cabernet Sauvignon.
rAWSON’S RETREAT
This range of wines was affectionately named after “Grange Cottage”, built in 1845 in Magill, South Australia.
This range of wines offer contemporary Australian wines for immediate drinking showcasing the benefits of multi-regional and multi-vineyard sourcing.
FAT BIRD
Over the years, there have been reports of mysterious large birds around our vineyards. Could it be the elusive Moa thought to be extinct? Or are they just …Fat Birds? I guess if they were looking for great grapes, they came to the right place.
The wines we have crafted in their name are well rounded, tasty, and full of character (probably not unlike the birds themselves!)
OLD NORTH ROAD
Old North Road runs through the Riverhead Forest west of Auckland where the winery has been sited for over 30 years.
The wines that carry the Old North Road name represent classic character and an easy drinking style perfect for any occasion.
19 CRIMES
Nineteen crimes turned convicts into colonists. Upon conviction British rogues guilty of at least one of the 19 crimes were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by "transportation" began in 1787 and many of the lawless died at sea. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.
ST HUBERTS
St Huberts was founded in 1862 by winemaking pioneer and Swiss immigrant Charles Hubert de Castella who helped position the region as a premium wine producing area. By the late 1800s the winery had established itself as one of the grandest wineries in the state winning the Emperor of Germany’s Grand Prize at the 1881 Melbourne International Exhibition and a Grand Prix award at the 1889 Paris Exposition – both phenomenal achievements for Australian wine. The St Huberts legacy continues to this day in the hands of experienced winemaker Greg Jarratt, who has worked with the vineyard and winery team since 2006. The Stag wine range celebrates the noble creature and its connection to St Huberts. Named in honour of the Patron Saint of the Hunt, St Hubert, who had an epiphany while out hunting after an encounter with a magnificent stag. Quintessentially Victorian, The Stag range is made in a cool climate style, comprising of a range of delicious and elegantly balanced wines.
