90 Years of Winemaking
When Marino Selak first arrived in New Zealand from his native Croatia in 1906, there were a few things missing. Apart from olive oils and traditional Croatian food, it seemed wine was in seriously short supply too. In 1934, he and nephew Mate, started creating a wine that would become a New Zealand favourite.
From our humble beginnings in West Auckland to our current home in the Hawke's Bay, we’ve built a legacy steeped in tradition and passion. Each bottle carries the essence of those who have shaped its creation, preserving the spirit of our winemaking family through the generations. Our commitment to quality and excellence has traveled far beyond borders, with our wines now embraced by wine lovers across the globe
