Destiny Bay

Destiny Bay is a boutique, single-estate winery on Waiheke Island that has gained international recognition for producing red wines rated among the top Cabernet blends in the world.

 

Founded in 2000, Destiny Bay has an unwavering commitment to excellence, seeking to rival the greatest Bordeaux First Growths and Super Tuscans.

 

The Terroir: Their vineyard is situated in a unique, north-facing, crater-shaped valley on Waiheke's sheltered southern edge, creating extraordinary conditions for their five red Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot).


The Flagship: Their signature wine is Magna Praemia (Latin for "great rewards"), a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, structured red often described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove".


The Style: Production is small and highly limited, reflecting an uncompromising approach to quality, including multiple levels of grading and sorting that are "unparalleled in New Zealand". These are deeply structured, elegant, and age-worthy wines sought after by discriminating collectors globally.


For the inspiring connoisseur seeking an investment in a New Zealand icon, Destiny Bay delivers immense quality and complexity.
