the Te Whare Ra ‘Toru’ 2008 (17.0+/20) that
was a hit with the group of tasters. A
blend of three varieties (Toru meaning ‘three’ in Maori) – Gewurztraminer,
Riesling and Pinot Gris, this was 13.8% alc and 10.4 g/l rs. A relatively gentle wine, this showed an
excellent balance of componentry where all three varieties expressed themselves
in a layered way. Steely, crisp,
minerally acidity, some floral spice notes and rounded, but definite textures
and weight all combined well. An
all-purpose wine. RC March 09
