About this Wine

Te Whare Rä 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 solely from 14 rows in the old block which were planted in 1979 and are the oldest producing vines in Marlborough at 44 years of age. Part of the reason for our conversion to organic and biodynamic farming was to rescue these old vines and coax them back to life. We saw huge potential in this old block and successfully rejuvenating them has been one of our greatest achievements. They are very low-cropping, which is not great for the accountant’s numbers, but this is worth it for the amazing complexity and concentration we get from the fruit and the exceptional quality of the resultant wines.

All fruit for this wine was hand-picked and then hand-sorted. The fruit was de-stemmed and gently crushed, then given some good skin contact time before being slowly and gently air-bag pressed. The wine was fermented 100% in stainless steel. The juice was fermented very slowly, at cool temperatures to retain aromatics. All parcels spent time on lees, post ferment, for added texture and complexity. This wine has not been fined and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and anyone else who loves authentic, hand-made wines.

Intensely perfumed, with notes of lychees, mango, ripe oranges and cloves. These lead into luscious varietal flavours of lychee and quince, with underlying characters of ginger and exotic spice. palate shows intense fruit concentration and weight with a fine, soft texture and excellent persistence of flavour. This wine is off dry and continues the outstanding quality of previous vintages of our Te Whare Rä Gewürztraminer.

Fruit from the Renwick subregion, from 44-year-old vines planted in 1979. 100% fermented in stainless steel, retaining 18 g/L. Lychee jelly, tea roses and frangipani. Almond nougat, Turkish delight and semolina honey cake. It is luxurious in sweetness and shines in the purity of well-handled gewürztraminer fruit. Languid and lazy, it slides down the palate for true lovers of decadence. 94 points. Shanteh Wale, Wine Companion Sep 2024
