Hyperion Wines is a genuine boutique vineyard and winery producing traditionally crafted wines exclusively from the Matakana winegrowing region, just an hour north of Auckland, New Zealand and that offers vineyard and wine tours. The tiny home vineyard is planted in classic grape varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Pinot Noir with all fruit processed on site in a character converted cowshed. Wines include Bordeaux straight varietals and blends, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Rose, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Port and Grappa are also made on the premises, the latter in conjunction with Castle Matakana. You can taste and purchase directly from the winery in Matakana which is open on weekends and public holidays, plus most of the school holidays. At other times please make an appointment. Group tasting are conducted in the barrel room with a talk (usually by the winemaker) and tasting of 5-6 wines with optional winery tour.
