TE MOTU
The vision at Te Motu is simple:to produce wines that express the unique terroir of Waiheke's Onetangi Valley and continue to evolve and improve with age. Using only the highest quality fruit, harvested at optimum ripeness, affords a lower intervention, crafted approach. The Te Motu flagship wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The blend varies from year to year and on average only 4500 bottles are made in each vintage.

John Dunleavy
Te Motu was established by Paul Dunleavy and his brother John in 1989. They were soon joined by their father Terry Dunleavy, MBE the inaugural CEO of the Wine Institute of New Zealand. Like the land itself, the vineyard and winery team at Te Motu has changed over the last two decades, overseen by the constant steady hand of John Dunleavy, chief viticulturist and winemaker.
