Welcome to
Turtle Bay Wines
Turtles represent triumph over adversity. They can be traced back to the Triassic age, over 200 million years ago. Only one out of every thousand sea turtles survives after hatching, although those that do can live for 80 to 100 years.
The largest turtle is the great leatherback sea turtle, at an impressive six feet in length and weighing up to 900kg. Female turtles are up to four times larger than their male counterparts.
The fastest turtle can swim at speeds of 36kph. They have exceptional night vision, but their daytime vision is marginal, partially due to color-blindness. They use their jaws to cut and chew food instead of teeth and although they use their tongues to swallow food, they can't stick out their tongues to catch food.
Some turtles can live for more than a year without food and are an environmental barometer of the welfare of the planet.
Turtle Bay is a young wine company dedicated to creating a great New Zealand wine experience from all the best grape growing regions of New Zealand.
Turtle Bay wines are exported to Australia, China and the United Kingdom, as well as being sold throughout New Zealand in restaurants, bars and wine shops.

Our Wines
Turtle Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Aromas of tomato leaf and apple mingling with peach and stone fruit notes open to a fresh fruit driven palate with melon overtones o n the finish—a delightfully balanced refreshing wine to share with friends in the sun.
Turtle Bay Chardonnay
Enticingly ripe aromas of stone fruit and sweet French oak lead to a mouth filling Chardonnay experience lightly underscored with classy oak. Just delicious on its own or great with a chicken salad on a summer’s day.
Turtle Bay Syrah
Spicy pepper and forest berry on the nose and fresh fruit berry and spice on the palate make this wine a perfect accompaniment to a summer BBQ or a platter of cold meats with crunchy bread.
