2019 TWR Pinot Noir. All winemakers are a bit obsessed with Pinot Noir because it is the most challenging variety to grow and to make – and very unforgiving of mistakes. For our style of Pinot Noir, we prefer the flavour profiles from the southern side of Marlborough – this sub-region is called the Southern Valleys of Southern clays. The soil types in this area of Marlborough are much older than the Wairau plains, they also have much lower fertility and a much higher clay component which gives the wines more depth and structure. We love Pinot Noir that is silk, supple and savoury and this sub-region delivers that for us.
This release is a blend from three certified organic vineyards – our TWR home block, and the Clayvin and Wrekin Vineyards in Brancott Valley. We were very excited to be able to procure some fruit from those sites as we have seen the quality those vineyards have produced in the past. 2019 was a stellar vintage in Marlborough for Pinot Noir. This resultant blend has great fruit weight and power, with the depth of flavour and complexity. The wine has a great approachable freshness but also the line and length for some serious cellaring.
All fruit for this wine was hand-picked, hand-sorted then destemmed and berry sorted as to ensure that only pristine, perfect Pinot berries make it into the fermenters. Gently transferred to small one tonne open fermenters, hand plunged twice daily. Some parcels small % whole bunch. Cold soak for 7-8 days, 5-7 ferment, & up to 14 days post ferment maceration. Pressed off on taste then filled to oak after 24 hours. In oak for 11 months – all French oak, various different coopers, 26% new, balance in older oak.
This Pinot Noir exhibits gorgeous, fragrant notes of ripe strawberry and dark plums with hints of baking spice, mocha, and some complex savoury undertones. The fleshy, silky tannins combine with vibrant fruit flavours of omega plum, strawberry and some blue fruit notes. The wine has great fleshiness and depth and finishes with a lingering persistence of fruit, fine tannin and well-integrated oak. Bottled-unfined and with minimal filtration. – Anna Flowerday, TWR

Wines of Marlborough
Marlborough is at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island and is the leading region in the country, being responsible for 75% of NZ’s wine production and 85% of its exports. Marlborough is internationally renowned for its distinctive style of Sauvignon Blanc, described by some wine writers such as Oz Clarke and George Taber as the best in the world. Australia being such a close neighbour, we get a great number of brands imported into the country.
Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough is grown on well-draining alluvial gravels, with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions are great for growing grapes that strike a perfect balance between ripeness and acidity. The result is sauvignon blanc that is aromatic, driven by tropical fruit flavours but also supported by an herbaceous and mineral character. Aussies often described Marlborough Savvy Blanc as full of passionfruit flavour.
Despite many consumers having an idea of what Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is, the wine is actually made in a wide range of different styles. Wine makers take advantage of different clones, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to give their wines nuance and differentiate their brand from one another. You may have had sauvignon blanc from Marlborough before, but it is always worth exploring some not so commercial brands if it is a style you enjoy.
Other varieties that are produced in the region include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.
