About Okahu
A land of ancient forests, people and legends. A beach that stretches further than you can imagine. Sunsets too beautiful for words. This is New Zealand’s Northland, the country’s warmest region, the home of Okahu Estate and a unique and challenging location for winemaking

The PeopleMonty Knight leads a team of dedicated people passionate about wine making in the far north of New Zealand |
The VineyardTerroir, the French word to describe the place the wine emanates from,
has no exact English equivalent. It sums up the climate, microclimate,
soil, topography, location, elevation, the winery, its people and wine
making techniques and its distinctive taste and feel. |

Okahu’s six acre estate vineyard is on the corner of Awarora Rd and Okahu Rd, latitude 35.08ºS with the winery's frontage off Okahu Road. The elevated site slopes west nor west, with impressive rural views, out to the sand hills of 90 Mile Beach and Shipwreck Bay. The proximity to the beach provides a maritime climate with the predominant winds from the west
