Dunleavy Family Red 2018

Meet Dunleavy Family Red 2018—the feisty little brother of our Te Motu flagship. A vibrant blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is crafted for those who love bold fruit flavours with a lighter, more approachable structure.

The Te Motu story began in the late ‘80s when the Dunleavy family transformed 30 acres of prime vineyard land into a haven for premium Waiheke wines. Staying true to our roots, this release is hand-harvested from the same cherished blocks in the Onetangi Valley as our top-tier reds.

A selection of stainless steel and barrel-aged lots come together to create a fruit-forward style that balances freshness with depth. Made for sharing, it’s perfect for a long lunch, a lively dinner, or a relaxed evening with great company.

A classic Te Motu red, made for earlier enjoyment.
