95 points Stephen Wong MW for The Real Review: "Another pinot noir rosé which avoids the usual trappings of the style is the jaw-droppingly good Te Whare Ra Single Vineyard 5182 Rosé 2023. This is now two years old, but showing no signs of fading. In fact, it has only gotten better with age. Cresting over into gold territory with a whopping 95 points, this is one of the absolute top scoring rosé wines I have tried." /// Te Whare Ra is our longest direct import relationship — 13 years strong — from the Southern Hemisphere. Located in the Marlborough sub-region of Renwick, the winery was originally established in 1979 and purchased by the Anna and Jason Flowerday in 2003. The couple both come from wine families — Anna from McLaren Vale in Australia and Jason from Marlborough — and met while working in Australia before deciding to build their family and business in New Zealand. K&L is TWR’s exclusive US importer, even as their small boutique winery has grown and the accolades have begun to accumulate. In 2025, the Real Review ranked TWR as the #3 Winery in New Zealand, and the #1 Winery in Marlborough. This is incredible recognition for a small 11-hectare winery resisting many of the dominant trends in the region. For the past two decades, Anna and Jason have been producing elegant, expressive wines from certified organic vineyards. This is incredibly unusual for Marlborough, where just 4% of the region’s vineyards are organic.
