Help Will.
The fresh-faced rockstar on the right is Will Tidswell. He’s about 14 in this photo, teamed up with our boy (little!) Bruno at an ori comp they won back in the day! At 19, Will has just made the New Zealand team for the Junior World Orienteering Championships in Portugal this July.
Making the NZ Orienteering team is one thing, getting yourself there is another. We’ve teamed up with Will to raffle two nights at our vineyard apartment, plus lunch and other TAE goodies + two day bike hire from our neighbours coastal wine cycles.
Self-propelled, hardworking (he’s a mechanical engineering student at CU), focussed and just an all round super nice kid who has also been part of the Te Awanga Estate fam over the last couple of years. If you can help Will get to Portugal we’d love it and we’ll totally look after you if you win!
Raffle ticket are $10 for 1 // $25 for 3. Very Long link below to buy tickets 👇🏼

Retro babies.
Ta da! Introducing our new One Offs to the wide world - the Retro Series.
One Off is a quirky, small batch, firm fan-fave line of wines we absolutely love crafting. This time round we've used a small enamel cup RM + I found in Bali eight years ago as inspo for the label design which was then lovingly whipped into shape by design master, Max Parkes from Unit Design.
There’s more to come in this series, but we’re kicking off with an organic Uncensored Chardonnay (we bl**by love it!), a precarious Field Blend and a wine Rod is asked for ALL THE TIME, a straight Cab Franc.
A sweet little sampler pack - the Retro Series Six Pack is loaded in our web shop. We’ll throw in a bar of @la_petite_chocolate + we’re shouting the NZ shipping, on all wines site-wide at the mo. Groovy baby! 😘

Oooh Cab Franc, exciting ❤️❤️❤️
One Off.
New wine is always a blast to release, but most especially our One Offs. These wines don’t quite fit with the rest of our line up, experimental, crafty, short run, each with a little story about why they are and where they came from. Plus they’re fun. To make and design…kinda like our wine playpen!
Look out later this week for your formal intro to our three new One Offs, or sign up to our newsletter (on our website footer) to be the first in the know. But right now, here’s a little teaser pic…how good’s ya eyesight?! 👀
Who you calling short?
Star gazing.
Sheesh it’s been a busy time for us all of late. And none more so than for our amazing winemaking + viti crew. Luckily they were able to stop recently for a little post-harvest reminiscing, some big-sky star gazing and lashings of late night banter. Just how we like it.
Stellar photo by @lomasfood on that new 📸!
‘Twas the night before Mother’s Day…
This is what our little Cellar Door looks like lights dimmed, a quiet glass of wine after another busy day, with most of our very cool crew gone home for the night after prepping for the day ahead.
They’ll be working hard today with a fully booked Cellar Door and a sunny arvo forecast. Mucho thanks TAE crew x 🤍

Lovely afternoon with you guys. Great friendly team, thank you.
Lovely!
Yeah, we ❤️ mums.
Mums with kids, mums trying to have kids, kids who have lost mums, mums who have lost kids, dads who are mums, mums who are dads, overseas mums, local mums, mums with orange finger nails, mums on your grandma’s chaise lounge…all sorts of ‘mums’.
We also love bubbles. So we sent a dad (we ❤️ dads too) down to our Wine Library to haul up a couple of cases of our delicious, long-since sold out 2014 LYLT Methode Traditionelle bubbles just in time for this glorious weekend!
Come bubbles with us! $15 a glass or $100 for a platter and a bottle. Mum-status not required x
