Collection: Te Whare Rā — NZ Excellence

First established 1979 Te Whare Rā is the oldest boutique winery and vineyard in Marlborough. Today it is owned and run by husband and wife team Anna and Jason Flowerday. To call them a wine power couple is an understatement with their family wine connections going back six generations across Australia and New Zealand. 

Certified organic by BioGro Te Whare Ra has always been a firm Wine Direct favourite, and not just because Anna and Jason are good customers of ours! Rather year in year year out Te Whare Ra produces a range of wines that puts them in the Premier League of Kiwi wineries right up there with the likes of Felton Road, Dry River & Te Mata.

Anna and Jason know their vines intimately and say that ‘‘vines are a lot like people – if you are run down, stressed and surviving on vitamin pills and energy drinks, you tend to pick up every bug that is going around, and you can’t perform at your best. On the other hand, when you are in the prime of life, eating a balanced diet, well rested and surrounded by people who love and appreciate you – you can achieve anything!"
