2023 Te Whare Ra SV5182 Toru

Jason and Anna Flowerday farm their small Marlborough vineyard in accordance with the principles of organics and biodynamics. With a name like 'Flowerday', it's not like they ever really had a choice.

Their little part of Marlborough is a Garden of Eden where wildflowers grow and vines thrive. Toru (Maori for 'Three') is a blend of Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris.

This is a super-aromatic, super-versatile white wine that can go with anything from a light salad to a piece of fresh Ocean Trout.

Cool and crisp yet full of flavour, this is top value from this much-loved boutique Marlborough producer.

“The wine is an excellent Alsatian-styled blend: it combines phenolic structure, acidic intensity and enveloping fruit. It’s all in balance and is very good indeed. There are six grams of residual sugar per liter."
- Erin Larkin (Robert Parker)

“The hotly demanded Toru is made up of co-fermented gewürztraminer, riesling and pinot gris... It finishes with freshness of lime juice fireworks. Totally delicious and a joy of a wine.” - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)
