Te Whare Ra is a small, organic, family-run winery in Marlborough's Wairau Valley that we loved so much that we decided to import them directly! That means more bang for your buck. According to the winery, "This 2018 release is a blend from 2 certified organic vineyards – our TWR home block here at the winery, and the Clayvin Vineyard in the Southern Valleys which are owned by the Giesen Family. We were very excited to be able to procure some extra organic certified fruit from the Clayvin block as we have seen the quality they have produced over a number...
Giesen's "Zero" Sauvignon Blanc is a unique wine from New Zealand's Marlborough region. Using the classic Giesen Sauvignon Blanc as a base, they remove the wine's alcohol with spun cone distillation, resulting in a wine with less than 0.5% alcohol, less than what naturally occurs in most fruit juices.
