Kia ora! Welcome to Tettonica.
We’re a couple of super passionate winos and the founders of Tettonica, producing unique and vibrant wines under the beautiful Marlborough sun.
'Minimal intervention' are two words that largely sum up our approach to winemaking. We love to experiment with wines and styles, varying and evolving them from vintage to vintage.
Our aim with the wines we produce is for the fruit and the vineyard it hails from to be celebrated and to speak for itself. Therefore, when possible we will refrain from making additions to our wines, depending on the season.
We source certified organic grapes wherever possible and always apply organic practices in the winery across all of our wines.
Our wines are designed to be shared amongst family and friends and enjoyed time and time again!
What is Tettonica?
Tettonica means ‘tectonics’ in Italian. We chose to name our brand Tettonica due to Marlborough and New Zealand’s geographical location.
Famously centred between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, we are situated on land emitting tremendous energy! We love to think that energy emits into our wine.
Italy and New Zealand each share a special place in our hearts and we wanted to honour these epic wine producing countries with Tettonica.
