Our story
Aaron Coxhead
2026 North Island Young Winemaker of the Year
I'm Aaron Coxhead, winemaker and founder of Coxhead Wines, and the 2026 North Island Young Winemaker of the Year.
CXD started with a simple idea: make the wines I want to drink — precise, generous and true to where they're grown — and get them to people without the fuss.
We source fruit from growers in Marlborough and Hawke's Bay and run the business from Rotorua. Small batches, no shortcuts. Thanks for drinking with us.
