In the Māori language and New Zealand English, waka is a Māori watercraft used in the 1800s and early 1900s by the Māori to search for fish and other food. According to Māori mythology, the beautiful Marlborough Sounds are the prows of the sunken waka (canoe) of Aoraki.
The Waka range of wines are produced in the world famous Marlborough region of New Zealand and include both sustainable and organic production. The wines offer generous fruit and long lasting flavours, which deliver excellent value and will soon have you reaching for another glass.
