Te Whare Ra 2019 Toru Single Vineyard 5182 White (Marlborough)

This coferment combines the aromatic white varieties TWR is renowned for: Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Quiet at first, it offers delicate aromas of red apple and pear skins, peach, lime blossoms, honeysuckle and a mineral streak that shows more prominently as the wine warms in glass. It's the palate that really strikes gold—slippery but fresh and elegant, with a whisper of sweetness and a long limey finish. Ultrafood friendly, it combines the best of all three varieties into a soft-spoken wine from a sensitive and skilled winemaker. Christina Pickard
