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.
These people are passionate about aromatic varieties and particularly those from Alsace so it was only a matter of time until we took on the challenge of
Pinot Gris. They replanted a section of the old block here with the Berry-Smith clone (also known as Larkham clone) of Pinot Gris. They chose this particular clone for it’s low cropping, small bunches and small berries as we felt it would deliver the best quality fruit.
Tasting Notes
This wine is finely structured with great length of flavor. LIfted aromas of nashi pear, red apple, raspberry, white florals and spice follow on flavors of the same along with savory undertones which are balanced by a fine, supple texture and lingering minerality. This release is a dry style which has concentration, balance and great texture with layers of flavour
