Matawhero (New Zealand) Masterclass with Kirsten Searle

Wine Tasting at OXTWO: Matawhero Wines, New Zealand

Friday 6th February | 7:00pm | OXTWO

We’re delighted to be hosting a special evening at OXTWO with Kirsten Searle of Matawhero Wines, one of New Zealand’s most exciting and distinctive producers.

We’ve recently begun working with Matawhero, and their wines have very quickly become favourites — expressive, beautifully made, and full of character. This tasting is a chance to explore the range in depth, guided by Kirsten herself, who will share the story behind the wines, the vineyard, and what makes Matawhero so unique.

The evening will be relaxed and informal, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, taste at your own pace, and enjoy good company. Alongside the wines, guests will be treated to bread, cheese and charcuterie, thoughtfully chosen to complement the tasting.

Whether you’re already familiar with New Zealand wines or simply curious to discover something new, this promises to be a brilliant way to spend a Friday evening.
