Welcome to Alexia's e-cellar door

Alexia is a small, family owned urban winery in Greytown, Wairarapa run by Jane Cooper and Lesley Reidy.

Grapes are sourced from Manuka Flats Vineyard, West Taratahi on the western side of the Wairarapa valley.

We are one of a tiny handful of New Zealand wineries that make, age and disgorge our Méthode Traditionnelle 100% by hand, in house. Alexia is also unique for championing of lesser known varieties not widely grown in New Zealand. Our range includes Chenin Blanc, Gamay, Grüner Veltliner, Gamay and Lagrein.

Winemaker Jane has been making wine for 30 years now, but is continuously pushing to make better wines each year - taking what we’ve learnt, thinking about how to evolve the wines we make, and working in the vineyard to achieve that. Our approach has always been to keep it simple, let the vineyard speak, and take great care.

Alexia was Jane’s grandmother, but for us, the name Alexia represents family matriarchy - women who drove our families forward and held us together through the big, beautiful, fragile messiness of life.
