At Te Motu, we’ve always believed in the power of time. From the very beginning, our founder, Paul, saw the potential for Waiheke reds to evolve beautifully with age—so he made a bold choice: to hold back allocations from each vintage, ensuring future generations could experience their full potential.

Today, that vision comes to life every day at our Cellar Door, where guests can enjoy an ever-changing vertical tasting flight of aged Te Motu wines. And this summer, one lineup has stood out: 2000 | 2010 | 2020.

For a limited time, we’re offering this exact trio in a special release 3-pack—an incredible opportunity to own and experience three decades of Te Motu.
The pack contains three standout vintages:

Te Motu 2000 – RRP $450
Te Motu 2010 – RRP $225
Te Motu 2020 – RRP $170

Special Collection Price: $695 (save $150) – excluding international freight

Crafted in the tradition of the great wines of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Te Motu is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, built for elegance, structure, and longevity.

This is an extremely limited opportunity to own a vertical of Te Motu, spanning three decades of winemaking excellence. Aged, rare, and ready to enjoy.

Te Motu 2000

Te Motu 2010

• The late Raymond Chan: A full and firmly concentrated bouquet with aromas of ripe blackberried fruit with a layer of black earth, dark herbs and lifted oak. Medium-full bodied, the palate has concentrated and intense, vibrantly sweet flavours of blackcurrants, black plums and cassis liqueur. The fruit richness is balanced by fine-grained powdery tannins and the mouthfeel is enlivened by softly ripe, lacy acidity. This is a ripe, tight and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon blend with rich black fruits and fine-grained structure, with power and linearity.
  Raymond Chan 19/20
• Bob Campbell’s impressions:A cabernet sauvignon dominant blend with merlot and cabernet franc. A richly-textured wine with dark berry, Christmas cake, liquorice, cedar, cigar box and with emerging savoury bottle development. Complex and obviously long-lived wine that should continue to give pleasure for at least another decade, possibly more, depending on cellaring conditions.

Te Motu 2020

Very pretty polish and depth to this Bordeaux blend. It’s medium- to full-bodied with creamy and round tannins that give form and length. Blackberry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate character. Lasts for minutes on the finish. Delicious now, but better in three or four years.
