Introduction \
Paritua welcomes you.
Paritua is a premium red and white wine vineyard, winery, cellar door and wine shop in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. The name Paritua is a tribute to the Paritua Stream, which meanders gently through the vineyard.
The vineyard is planted over the historical riverbed of the nearby Ngaruroro River which flowed through pre the 1860s earthquake. It is a name that also acknowledges the connection with the land and the people of New Zealand.
