Sippin’ on kapua: New World Wine Awards

Ahakoa taku noho whakaiti, kei ngā rangi kē aku whatu e titiro ana.

My eyes remain fixed on the heavens as I tread humbly on the earth.

We’re proud to share our selection of Kapua Wines have been recognised in the New World Wine Awards for 2025.

Pinot Gris - Bronze Award

Sauvignon Blanc - Gold Award

Chardonnay - Bronze Award

Over 1,000 different wines were savoured and blind-tested by esteemed judges, with each wine assessed using the internationally recognised 100-point system.

“It validates what we've been excited to share in every Kapua bottle, we have one of the best winemaking teams in the country.”

Kapua Wines is nearing our first anniversary, and to celebrate it with recognition at these awards, amongst the legacy of NZ winemakers who consistently elevate and push beyond the known limits of what is possible, is a huge honour. "This gives us a strong foundation to grow from. What began as an idea among whānau and friends, with belief in ourselves, has become something to celebrate."

The future of Kapua Wines is in the clouds, striving just beyond reach, ever-evolving in pursuit of excellence.
