Rongopai Winery

                       Welcome

In the heart of the Waikato, above beautiful Lake Waikare, lies the small town of Te Kauwhata. A short half hour drive south of Auckland, and set in the picturesque research station built by Italian viticulturist Romeo Bragato in 1902, lays a winery unequalled within New Zealand.

Welcome to Rongopai Wines, the birthplace of New Zealand winemaking research and one of the leading producers in New Zealand of botrytised wine. A gold medal in the 1998 International Wine Challenge for its' 1996 Vintage Reserve Chardonnay, a gold in the 1999 Air New Zealand Wine Show for its' 1999 White Label Chardonnay and numerous other medals and awards are showing New Zealand and the world the quality and strength of it's selection.

A strong line-up of Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris coupled with a growing reputation for immaculate red wines make Rongopai Wines a familiar and reliable source of great wines in the local market, and give it huge confidence as it makes its' launch onto the international scene.

The evident beauty of the winery itself makes Rongopai Wines a popular stop for tourists and travellers alike. If you like truly great wines and beautiful, historic settings then you'll love Rongopai.

"Rongopai means 'good taste' - a fitting name for a winery which produces some of New Zealand's most opulent, rampantly botrytised sweet wines."
-Michael Cooper, from his book 'Pocket Guide to Wines of New Zealand'

"Rongopai burst onto the wine scene in the mid 1980's with botrytised wines at a standard that compelled widespread interest"

-Michael Cooper, from his book 'Classic Wines of New Zealand'
