A Little Italian in Matakana
Matavino is a small vineyard that epitomises the diversity of the famous Matakana Wine Region by growing the ancient Italian red grape varieties of Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, plus Chardonnay and Viognier.
Our vision is to produce a variety of wines to match the local food and produce. The vines are hand nurtured and the Barbera and Nebbiolo wines are fermented in the old traditional way using authentic Italian Amphora clay vessels. Matavino vineyard was initially planted in September 2006 and the first wines went on sale in October 2010.
The Matavino Cellar Door is now closed, but phone to arrange an appointment for groups of 4 or more.
Matavino wines are best matched with food but also taste great out on the deck or around the BBQ with family and friends. After all, that’s what Italian life is all about – great food, great wine, great company!
