Cooler Upper Awatere fruit makes up 65%, bringing white currant, elderflower, lemongrass and fine mineral structure. The remaining 35% comes from Te Whare Ra’s warmer Wairau Valley vineyard, contributing ripe passionfruit, guava, lime and generous tropical fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost parcels were fermented slowly in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity, while 18% underwent warmer fermentation in seasoned French oak demi-muids. Time on fine lees adds texture and weight without diminishing the wine’s bright, energetic character. It was bottled unfined and is vegan friendly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palate is fine and supple, with layers of yuzu, passionfruit, mango and guava carried by juicy acidity. Subtle herbal notes, gentle nuttiness and a creamy mid-palate lead into a long, mineral finish. Expressive and unmistakably Marlborough, but with greater restraint, texture and complexity than the everyday style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy we love it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVivid and aromatic, with all the tropical energy of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc supported by fine texture, mineral drive and beautifully judged oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Te Whare Ra (TWR)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67619067887865,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/Primary_Bottle_Image_4ee3400e-23e8-446e-904f-8b67edcd8ea3.png?v=1794016045","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2025-te-whare-ra-twr-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
