Making Te Whare Ra Pinot Noir is a labour of love for winemakers Anna and Jason Flowerday.

It is great to see the Marlborough region gaining more recognition for Pinot Noir and this 2010 Te Whare Ra Pinot is a fine example from the region.

The cooler nights and warm days in Marlborough give this wine its lovely richness and aromatics. Flavours of black fruits and fleshiness hit you, with a definite finesse, plus a hint of spice and red fruits. The spectrum of flavours balance well, making this an excellent food wine.
Anna tells a great story of falling in the fermenter while making this wine, check out the picture in the video at www.sunlive.co.nz Enjoy!
