Description

Te Wā, ‘time and place’ in te reo Māori, pays homage to the distinctive wine style delivered by the stony, alluvial gravels and the cool climate of the Martinborough Terrace. This combination of vinification techniques, blending a small portion of wine fermented on grape skins with the more traditional pressed juice results in a textured and exotically perfumed wine, with aromas of grapefruit, guava, green papaya salad and Vietnamese mint. The palate complements, with an intense nose and flavours of ginger, lemon grass and cinnamon. The wine is creamy and savoury with a long lingering finish.
