Organic/Biodynamic
Our approach at Te Whare Ra is first and foremost to make great wines and to use a natural approach to the growing (and making) of those wines. We actually feel very comfortable that natural winegrowing is not strictly defined. It is more a way of doing things than a pure definition. We think it means different things to different people and can cover a wide range of practices and techniques. We manage our vineyard here using a combination of organic and biodynamic practices. From our perspective the making of quality, naturally produced wines involves many occasions when intervention is required to varying degrees.
