Marlborough, New Zealand. Te Whare Ra (TWR) is a small vineyard and winery located in the Marlborough sub-region of Renwick, owned by winemakers – Anna & Jason Flowerday. The 11 Ha vineyard which has predominantly loam over clay soils, was planted in 1979 with a mixture of varieties.
Te Whare Ra has a long standing reputation for producing one of New Zealand’s finest Gewürztraminers and much of the credit must go to the vineyard here. This wine is produced from 14 rows in the old block which were planted in 1979 and are some of the oldest vines in Marlborough. They are very low-cropping but this is worth it for the amazing complexity and concentration we get from the fruit.
Tasting Notes
Intensely perfumed, with notes of ripe oranges, cloves, lychee and rose petals. These lead into luscious varietal flavours of baked quince and lychee, with underlying characters of ginger, orange oil and exotic spice.
