Teece Family Vineyards  

Mt. Beautiful

Teece Family Vineyards reflects the scholar entrepreneur’s ability to marry bold vision with strong execution. Driven by the desire to produce world-class wines, David Teece consolidated several farms on New Zealand’s South Island in 2000. He was undeterred by the fact that the Cheviot Hills region was not synonymous with wine growing. The team knew enough to go forward—namely that the landforms, the climate, the soil… everything pointed to being able to produce exceptional wines.

The team was right, and together they transformed a 70-acre section of the property from farmland into a vineyard, aptly named Mt. Beautiful, and five years later the first bottles were sold.

Today, Mt. Beautiful’s award-winning wines are sold throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
