Te Whare Ra (TWR) - Marlborough, New Zealand
Te Whare Ra (TWR) is a small vineyard and winery located in the Marlborough sub-region of Renwick. The 11Ha vineyard was first planted in 1979 and since 2003 has been owned by winemakers Anna and Jason Flowerday. Yields are kept low, the vineyard is managed with a combination of organic and biodynamic practices and all the fruit is handpicked and hand-sorted. The wines are made with minimal intervention in a small winery which has been specifically set up for small-batch winemaking. The aromatic wines have carved out a reputation for TWR as a member of New Zealand’s elite, while the improbably good Syrah and Pinot Noir are opening people’s eyes to Marlborough’s potential for red wines of distinction.
This Pinot shows fragrant notes of ripe strawberry and cherry with hints of violets, mocha, spice and some savoury undertones. The finely textured, silky tannins combine with flavours of strawberry and omega plum. The palate carries into more complex, savoury flavours and finishes with a lingering persistence of fruit, fine tannin and integrated oak.
