Philosophy on Wine and Beer

With Martinborough so close, and Marlborough just a stones throw away, the Wharekauhau cellar is nothing short of outstanding.

Wine

Wharekauhau is proud to present a generous selection of top New Zealand wines Apart from some Sparkling and fortified products, the Wharekauhau cellar is a quintessential collection of some of New Zealand’s most iconic labels; wines produced by some of the most passionate and talented viticulturalists and winemakers in the world.

We are pleased to be able to showcase wines produced locally. Martinborough, after all did blaze the way for Pinot Noir in New Zealand. Pinot Noir, however is only a part of the local story. A number of white varietals excel here, and despite the cooler climate, Martinborough often offers up Cabernet blends of great integrity and beauty.

Using Wharekauhau’s ‘connections’ there is a bountiful supply of past vintages that are often not found outside of the producing vineyards library store.

Each night our resident sommelier matches wines with the menu. He is happy to sit with you and find the perfect partner for any meal that our chefs prepare.

Beer

Our beer list features a selection of outstanding New Zealand Lagers, Ales, Dark Beer, and Cider. Almost all of these are produced by ‘boutique’ micro brewing companies, a new breed of small operators who are dedicated to crafting products of great flavour and integrity. In much the same way as wine making companies.
