About
Manu, the Māori word for bird, symbolises the high standard we strive for in our winemaking at Steve Bird Wines. Our commitment extends beyond exceptional taste—we continuously refine our craft to be more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
Inspired by traditional Māori tukutuku panels, each bottle of Manu wines carries a design that honours our Bird whānau’s Ngāti Awa heritage, connecting us to the land for over 800 years. When you share our wines with your whānau and friends, you become part of this story—embracing manaakitanga, connection, and tradition

Our Manu collection is produced from New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions. The Manu logo is an interpretation of ‘Te Manu Tukutuku’, a beautifully crafted Māori kite, representing Manu wines’ craftsmanship, elegance and the pure nature of New Zealand.
Manu Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc 2023
A vibrant wine, pale straw in colour with slight green hues at its edge. It is vibrant and tasty, packed with flavours of lime, stone-fruit and fresh herbs. The palate is powerful and fruity showing refreshing acidity and pleasing weight in the mid-palate. The flavours all flow to a dry finish with impressive persistence.
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Alc./Vol.: 13%
Manu Gisborne
Rosé 2021
Soft pale-pink with the slightest purple hues. The nose is subtle showing delicate aromas of raspberries and cherries, quince and fragrant flowers. There is a remarkable balance of delicacy and fruit intensity on the palate. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is bright and vibrant, with refreshing acidity balanced by the fruit sweetness and very fine textures.
Variety: Merlot
Region: Gisborne, New Zealand
Alc./Vol.: 13%
Manu Marlborough
Pinot Noir 2019
Light ruby-red in colour with purple hues, lighter on the rim, youthful in appearance. The bouquet is beautifully perfumed displaying red and black cherry, spice and vanillin oak with a hint of dried herbs. It’s silky smooth and generously textured on the palate with a rounded mouth feel and gentle, firm finish. This wine is immensely appealing and drinkable with excellent fruit intensity and a lovely complexity.
