Every bottle in our range tells a distinct story of soil, season, and spirit. Explore our current releases—from the flinty minerality of our Chardonnays to the bold, dark-fruit complexity of our Syrah.
Named after the druidic spirit of inspiration, Awen is our flagship chardonnay — a wine of genuine complexity. Bright natural acidity meets layered stone fruit and a long, elegant finish. The land at its most expressive.
Full-bodied and richly textured, Rangiwhai is shaped by 11 months in French oak. Citrus and stone fruit sit over a flinty minerality, with a warmth and weight that rewards patient sipping.
Wild flowers and violets on the nose, brooding dark fruit beneath. Sweet dark cherry opens on the palate — powerful and mouth-filling — with gentle oak adding warmth and depth. Long, persistent, and completely unfiltered. Pure vineyard expression.
Fresh, lively, and made for celebration. Aromas of citrus blossom and lemongrass with a clean, lively finish. The perfect aperitif — or an excuse to open something a little different.
Our story begins on the left bank of the Ngaruroro River in western Hawke's Bay — a place where river gravels, a unique micro-climate, and decades of careful stewardship converge. This terroir gives our chardonnays their signature natural acidity and our syrah its depth and structure. Every bottle is a reflection of this valley, captured at the right moment of ripeness.
Whether you're marking a milestone or finding beauty in the everyday, Kokako Farms offers the perfect companion. Our wine growing philosophy is built on balance and restraint - wines with the depth to stand alone, yet the elegance to pair beautifully with the best of what this region produces. More than a drink; an invitation to slow down and savour the craft.
We're driven by a quiet obsession: to grow exceptional chardonnay and syrah from one of New Zealand's most distinctive wine-growing valleys. Every bottle carries the warmth of the land, the integrity of the fruit, and the character of a region we're proud to call home.
Shaped by a commitment to grow fruit of exceptional quality from land we deeply respect.

Common questions about our wines, vineyard, and how to visit.
With the first vines planted in 2000, Kokako Farms now spans 110 hectares of carefully tended soils and river gravels.
Our vintages are small and hand-crafted by design — fruit selected with the same care and patience that goes into every decision on this land.
The majority of each harvest is supplied as premium fruit to some of New Zealand's most acclaimed wine producers, a quiet measure of the reputation Kokako has built over two decades.
