Aristotelia serrata, commonly known as wineberry or in the Māori language makomako or just mako, is a small tree in the family Elaeocarpaceae, in the genus Aristotelia, found in the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island of New Zealand. It is a small deciduous fast-growing tree or shrub. The tree can reach up to 10m tall, with a trunk diameter up to 30 cm. The bark is pale brown, smooth and patterned with flat lenticels. Branches are long, slender and spreading, branchlets have a reddish-brown colour when pubescent.
First described by botanists Georg and Johann Foster in 1776 as Dicera serrata, Walter Oliver gave its current binomial name in 1921. Wineberry grows in association with many plants and provides a key food source for the Kererū. Flowering occurs in the spring, with berries ripening in summer.
