Steve Bird Wines

Sowing a future of manaakitanga
Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua. 
If we take care of the earth and take care of people, we will take care of the future. 

​Steve Bird Wines is a small family owned and operated business built on manaakitanga. A generosity of spirit toward the land and each other. The foundation of sharing and caring. We at Steve Bird Wines are driven by a deep connectedness with the earth and its sustainability, and an inherent belief that of greatest importance, is the relationships we form with each other. 

The Steve Bird range are our signature wines. Hand-selected parcels of grapes are crafted by Steve to capture the qualities of a specific, exceptional location and to reflect nature’s unique influence with every vintage.
