Koha Wines

Koha Wines are made by te Pā in Marlborough in the northern region of the South Island of New Zealand. Koha Wines are generous and approachable and epitomize the relaxed yet refined Kiwi lifestyle, celebrating the qualities of this clean, green, beautiful country. 'Koha' means 'gift' in Maori and these wines are gifts from their home to the world.

The MacDonald family has connections that go back to the Wairau Bar (north tip of the southern island on the coast of Marlborough) for 800 years. This strong sense of place is what the MacDonald family is all about.

What makes Wairau Bar a unique site to grow vines? It's a long gravel bank with a variety of soils that range from alluvial deposits to fertile loam to silt and sand. Surrounded by the Wairau River and Cloudy Bay, this is a perfect microclimate to create wines that are balanced, approachable, and delicious.
