Destiny Bay<\/strong><\/p>

This winery was voted Bob Campbells\u2019 \u201cWinery of the Year\u201d on his Real Review website this year. However, it is open by appointment only, and to be honest it is not somewhere that is on the tourist trail. You would need to be someone who was interested in buying or collecting some of New Zealand’s very best (and why not!?), since their world-class wines sell for hundreds of dollars.<\/p>

I was fortunate to be given a tour and tasting by owner Sean Spratt in December \u201921 and it was quickly obvious\u00a0 the immense attention to detail that is at the core of this operation. From how they are managing the vineyard \u2013 with specialist equipment but also a mass of hours of work by hand \u2013 to the incredible care taken in sorting fruit after picking, and so on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, prices for the end product are high, but the results are already well known \u2013 Winery of the Year, big scores, and an established reputation worldwide. I\u2019d say that their goal would be to be regarded as one of the worlds\u2019 Top 10 Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. And based upon what I\u2019ve seen, read and tasted \u2013 this is well on track. The Magna Praemia<\/strong> wine from 2019 was my red wine of 2021, and the best red wine of its type that I have tasted from New Zealand.<\/p>

This place is the highest vineyard on the island, so views from the restaurant are very, very nice. Thomas\u2019 Bach Restaurant<\/strong> can seat from two to two hundred, and it is popular. You can get here onboard the Batch Bus \u2013 it\u2019s just $12 per person return from the ferry. They have a few options for events and hire of spaces, so you can consider a party or wedding here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Hay Paddock<\/strong> at 1 Gordons Road was established in 2003 by Chris Canning. It is a sheltered valley site and known for powerful reds. The 2013 Syrah-Petit Verdot was voted #1 on Waiheke \u2013 quite a review by Bob Campbell! Their website www.thehaypaddock.co.nz<\/a> lists their Cellar door as closed, but there is a phone number for Jules \u2013 021 211 2829.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Frenchman\u2019s Hill Estate<\/strong> at 1 Margaret Reeve Lane, Rocky Bay isn\u2019t a name that many people have heard of, but winemaker Luc Desbonnets has produced his wines under the Frenchman\u2019s Hill Estate and Expatrius labels since founding the vineyard in 2006. Their wines are expensive by New Zealand standards \u2013 the 2010 \u2018Blood Creek 8\u2019 is available on the website, but is an eye-watering $395. In a picturesque spot on the Te Whau Peninsula, they used to be open daily and offer light meals, but a note on the website indicates that they are currently closed \u2013 hopefully this is only temporary. Call 021 285 2903 or go to www.frenchmanshillestate.co.nz<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

SOHO Wine Co. don\u2019t have a destination on Waiheke that you can visit, but their Carter Vineyard is in the Onetangi Valley and the wines are well worth looking into. A friend of mine is a devotee of this label and I\u2019ve tried many of their wines \u2013 many from other locations such as Central Otago for their Pinot \u2013 www.winefolio.co.nz\/?p=1009<\/a> and I gave their Waiheke red blend \u2018Revolver\u2019 a solid 93\/100 \u2013 www.winefolio.co.nz\/?p=4750<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Onetangi Valley is full of things to do, and your first stop might be Wild on Waiheke<\/strong> at 82 Onetangi Road. It describes itself as a multi-activity venue and I\u2019d agree with that. You might be interested in one of the full-on, team building type of things to do, but I\u2019m here to talk about the food and beverages! Wine tasting (Wild Estate) and beer sampling from the Waiheke Island Brewery that is brewed on site, is available. You can get pizzas and burgers, through to platters or more substantial food in their restaurant. It\u2019s a large place \u2013 can easily cater for over 200 people, and would be a great stop if you have kids or a family.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On the same stretch of road, and initially sharing a long driveway (it splits further up) are two of the originals of the area \u2013 Stonyridge and Te Motu. The elder, Stonyridge<\/strong> was founded by Stephen White back in 1982 when he planted the first vines and olive trees. First vintage was 1985, and in \u201987 the first vintage of their famous \u2018Larose\u2019 wine was produced. This wine was lauded as the best red wine ever made in New Zealand. So good that in 2000, an elite French sommelier team put Stonyridge Larose 1996 as first equal with Chateau Petrus, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Cheval Blanc in Grandes vins rouge du Monde (Les Editions du Bottin Gourmand). Current vintage of this wine\u00a0 sells for $375. I gave it 96\/100 in this review –\u00a0 www.winefolio.co.nz\/?p=4980.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A gorgeous property, which reminds me of a European Estate, with one of the best restaurants on the island. You can easily spend a very pleasant afternoon here lounging on the expansive deck overlooking the vineyards. Wine tasting is available, of course, but I would recommend grabbing a table and having something to eat and a glass of one of their wines, and just relaxing for a while. Check back on the website later for an interview with winemaker Martin Pickering which will be online soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you had taken the right hand fork in the road, you\u2019d have ended up at Te Motu<\/strong> vineyard. Just a few years younger then their neighbours, the Dunleavy family planted grapes on the property they bought a year before in 1989. Also intending to make red wines in the \u2018Bordeaux style\u2019, the first wines were released in 1993. A family-run affair, I met with Rory Dunleavy in December, and we\u2019ll be putting the interview online in the next few weeks. I also got a first taste of their new Kuikui Syrah and gave it 96\/100 \u2013 www.winefolio.co.nz\/?p=4861<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Shed<\/em> is the place to eat at Te Motu \u2013 having won a few awards since being created, and consistently packed with happy diners. You can also do a wine tasting in one of a few areas on the property \u2013 there\u2019s a large covered area next to the restaurant, for example. Alongside the premium wine flight ($20) you can also delve into older vintages by Coravin. The Dunleavy range of wines is also available to try and buy here \u2013 I had a lovely glass of \u2018The Shed\u2019 Ros\u00e9 when I arrived, and there\u2019s also a Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet in this range.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Tantalus Estate<\/strong> is a relative newcomer to the Onetangi Valley, having being planted in 1998 and had been operating as a rather down-at-heel operation until the new owners bought and began re-developing the property to bring out its full potential in 2013. With the vineyard re-planted, the wetland was re-invigorated and now hums with flora and fauna, bees and trees. The building has been transformed into a truly world-class venue – housing a brewery, Cellar Door, event spaces and an excellent restaurant. My lunch here in the last few weeks was amongst the best meals I\u2019ve eaten in New Zealand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a new winery across the wetland from the main building, where winemaker Alex Perez crafts wines that are fit for the restaurant \u2013 in other words, superb. My review of the \u2018Cachette\u2019 Chardonnay is here \u2013 www.winefolio.co.nz\/?p=5120<\/a>, and the two Reserve reds \u2013 \u00c9cluse and Evoque are of similar quality. The Regional range also brings in fruit from around New Zealand to round out the range with a Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc for example \u2013 neither of which would feature too often in wines from Waiheke Island. One final note, and another wine to try – is the Reserve Chardonnay that is made in a concrete egg \u2013 these unique vessels have an interesting influence on the finished wines, and are always worth a go. www.tantalus.co.nz<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Peacock Sky<\/strong> is tucked away in what is pretty much the centre of Waiheke. The address is 152 Trig Hill Road \u2013 turn off to the right before you head down towards Onetangi Beach. All their wines are from Waiheke grapes and they have a range on offer \u2013 from a sparkling Reserve Blanc de Noirs, to big reds such as Malbec and Cabernet Suavignons. Established in 2008, they were well known for offering weekend \u2018degustation\u2019 style tastings where small portions of tasty food were offered alongside the wines, but according to their website \u2013 www.peacocksky.co.nz<\/a> – they are currently closed to visitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When I have stayed on Waiheke recently, I have chosen the Onetangi Beach Apartments<\/strong>. A major reason for this is the location \u2013 there are three places to eat at Onetangi Beach and each is only a minute\u2019s stroll from where you are staying \u2013 www.onetangi.co.nz<\/a>. I\u2019ve had dinner a couple of times at Ki Maha<\/strong> and it is an excellent venue with good food. The wine choice is OK too. At the other end of The Strand is Charlie Farleys<\/strong>, which is a Waiheke institution, and on the site of the old pub. Nice breakfasts and coffee, sitting out on their tree-shaded terrace. In between is 372<\/strong>, a big place with an interesting looking menu \u2013 I haven\u2019t been, so can\u2019t really comment on how it stacks up \u2013 next time!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Back up the hill from the beach are two more wine options \u2013 the first is Casita Miro<\/strong> \u2013 a place I\u2019ve not had chance to visit yet. People who\u2019s opinion I respect have said \u201cit\u2019s a good place with good, and distinctive food and great sherry, but don\u2019t go for the wine\u201d It is certainly an attractive place, looking at their website \u2013 www.casitamiro.co.nz<\/a> and some of the menu sounds excellent \u2013 I haven\u2019t had a cataplana<\/em> since I was in Lisbon! The vineyard is just 2.6 hectares, and the range is quite wide considering \u2013 including Albarino and Petit Verdot. Their address is 3 Browns Road, Onetangi.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nearby, on Te Makiri Road, tucked away in a natural amphitheatre, is Obsidian vineyard<\/strong>. Planted in 1993 \u2013 again \u2013 and you\u2019ll hear this quite a bit over on Waiheke \u2013 with the intention of making great Bordeaux style red wines. Since that time, new varieties have also been introduced and now Obsidian makes a wide range of styles, including making the island\u2019s first Montepulciano and Tempranillo, across two labels \u2013 Obsidian and Weeping Sands. Their Syrah and flagship wine The Obsidian\u2019 and \u2018The Mayor\u2019 have a range of over 95\/100 scores from critics.<\/p>

Their Cellar Door is open from 11am to 5pm daily during Summer \u2013 check www.obsidian.co.nz<\/a> for any news or details.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
