About the wine
The boutique winery Te Whare Ra (TWR), the “house in the sun”, was founded in 1979 and therefore owns the oldest Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer vines in Marlborough. Complex Sauvignon Blanc with finesse, purity, and interesting layers. Three different vineyards, lots of manual work in the vineyard and careful winemaking make for an impressive variety of aromas.
Now until 2027James Suckling: 92/100
Tasting note
On the nose, intense aromas of lemon, elderflower, white currant, green pear, basil and passion fruit. On the palate, the wine offers a nice texture from aging on lees. Aromas of wet stone, pineapple, lemon and nectarine. With its ripe, juicy acidity, the Sauvignon Blanc remains wonderfully balanced and results in a long, mineral finish.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with fish, seafood, sheep cheese and apero with guacamole.
Vinification
The grapes were only gently pressed and 89% stainless steel tanks were bottled for cold fermentation. 11% went into older French wooden barrels (demi-muids with a volume of 150l). Both batches were stored on fine yeast.
