Our story

The story of Te Mana Estate begins with this sacred land. “Te Mana”, meaning “power” or “prestige” in Māori, is a name that symbolizes the strength and dignity of nature, perfectly capturing the vitality and sanctity of this place. Nestled in Marlborough, Te Mana Estate is more than just a vineyard—it is a sanctuary that honors the natural world and respects all forms of life. Here, the soil, climate, and the skilled hands of artisans come together over time to create a perfect harmony.

Our vineyard is built on a deep respect for Māori culture and the sacred connection between people and nature. For generations, we have cultivated this land with humility, adhering to sustainable principles that protect the balance and prosperity of all living beings. Every bottle from Te Mana Estate captures not only the essence of the grapes but also our reverence for the natural world. From the gentle slopes to the refreshing coastal breezes, every element of the estate is reflected in the wine’s rich flavors and complex aromas.

What makes Te Mana Estate truly exceptional is not only the quality of our estate-bottled wines but also our deep respect for nature and our role in preserving it. Every step—from vine cultivation to bottling—takes place on our land, ensuring each bottle is a tribute to the harmony of nature. We believe that humanity is deeply connected to all living beings and that only by growing in harmony with the environment can our craftsmanship truly shine. It is this sense of reverence that transforms every bottle into a testament to the power of nature and the wisdom of life.

We invite you to experience the power of Te Mana, to feel our respect for Māori culture, our reverence for all living beings, and our dedication to traditional craftsmanship. This is more than just wine—it is a celebration of the power of nature and the symbiosis of life.
