2017 Te Mania Pinot Noir

Te Mānia (the Maori name for “The Plains”) is a family-owned winery, located near the beautiful coastline of Tasman Bay. Established by my wife and I, Jon and Cheryl Harrey, in 1990 near Nelson at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Working and raising our family on the vineyard is a fantastic lifestyle and everyone enjoys pitching in.

Our vineyards flourish on the ancient alluvial terraces through which rivers flow from the mountains to the sea. These stony soils, combined with Nelson’s cool maritime climate and high sunshine hours, produce grapes and wines of the finest quality. The free spirit of Nelson’s idyllic lifestyle and climate is captured by the Harrier Hawk gliding on the breeze above our vineyards.
