Unique Single Vineyard Reds from Waiheke Island.

The Pinnacle of Waiheke Syrah, Overlooking Onetangi Valley 

Waiheke has many unique sites across the Island. All meticously cared for over the 30 years of Waiheke Viticulture. 

Kingi wines works with closely with other island vineyards and wineries. In 2026,  an opportunity came about to source fruit from one of the islands most renowned  Syrah blocks. 

A north aspect over looking the Onetangi Valley, this block planted to MS clone Syrah produces some truly unique fruit. Vines were established over 30 years ago, cared for by hand all along the way. 

Organic mindset, a vineyard that exudes viticultural passion.

When thinking of viticultural consistency on Waiheke, Jurassic Ridge Vineyard is the first that comes to mind. An organic approach that requires intensive labour, the result; an extremely healthy vineyard with premium quality fruit. 

Sitting above Church Bay in a protected position, the soils consist of thriving top soil on heavy clay. Just as areas of the Chinon appellation in the Loire Valley, these soils produce elegant Cabernet Franc, balanced and complex. 

Naturally fermented, and left alone.

Having learnt under some of New Zealand's best winemakers, Josh Kingston “Kingi” makes wines with a minimalist intervention mindset.

Having gained international experience through multiple vintages in the Rhone Valley and Sonoma Coast, with ultra premium producers. Josh knows the importance of pure fruit expression. 

Waiheke vineyards produce some of New Zealand's finest wines. A unique sense of place in every bottle. Allowing the fruit to truly represent a moment in time. 

Restaurants, retailers and export.

Production is small — 1,900 bottles across four wines in 2026 — so allocations are set once a year. Tell us where you are and what you pour, and we will come back with what is available.
