Exhibiting unique yet balanced natural acidity, Toru shows off an enticing blend of stone fruits, floral hints, spices, and mineral undertones. While leaving a refreshing, slightly off-dry taste, it captivates the drinker with its complexity and depth. This wine displays Te Whare Ra's excellent biodynamic farming practices, hinting at the distinct terroir of Marlborough. It matches beautifully with mildly spiced Asian cuisine.

Tasting Notes

These lead into a multi-layered palate with flavours of mango, citrus, red apple and lychee with a lingering spiciness. The palate has excellent fruit concentration and weight with lovely creamy texture, plus a mineral edge which gives it great length of flavour.
