Marlborough Done Differently – Hand-Picked & Hand-Made
Te Whare Rā is Marlborough’s oldest small winery having been first established in 1979. Our vineyard is farmed using a combination of organic & regenerative techniques and is home to the oldest vines in the region. (Biogro no. 5182). We are situated on a small elevated terrace on the southern side of the Wairau Valley – in the Marlborough sub-region of Renwick.
Owned & operated by the Flowerday family since 2003.

“We have made it our aim to showcase the depth and diversity Marlborough is capable of and to produce authentic wines of excellence”
Anna & Jason Flowerday
“Our philosophy is wholly centered on making seriously good wine. We like wines to express their place – to speak of a somewhere-ness rather than of a same-ness, we want you to be able to taste this in our wines.”
Winemakers ~ Anna & Jason Flowerday

Hello to all our Ōtatuhi Christchurch friends!
We are super excited to be heading your way soon for the @urbanwinewalk on Sat 5th Sept.
We are paired with the lovely folks @kongbar_nz and the event is a sell out so on track to be pretty epic.
I am likely to have a couple of next gen Flowerdays in tow and we will be pouring our:
- 2025 Flowerday Organic Rosé
- 2023 SV Riesling `M`
- 2023 SV Toru field blend.
We were devastated to wake to this news today
Jukesy was an all round bloody great human with such an infectious enthusiasm. I`ve had the pleasure of knowing him for 25+ years.
He was intelligent, generous, thoughtful and so much fun
Such a relentless cheerleader for both Aussie and Kiwi wines and made such a difference to our presence in the UK.
Sending big love and our deepest sympathies to @ameliajukes and their boys, his daughters and their families 💔😢
Hello to all our Auckland friends & whanau,
We have some awesome news to warm up your winter....
Four of our wines are now available from the fab folks @farrofresh !!
So when you are popping into their stores to stock up on all the deliciousness that they have available - you can also add some TWR goodies to your haul.
Let us know if you spot it in store.
Huge thanks to the team at Farro as we are thrilled to have the wines available in all their stores.
Really thrilled to have made this list again and especially humbled to be the only Marlborough winery in the top 10 - alongside producers we have immense respect for.
Acknowledgement like this which recognizes our commitment to quality - across the board - year in and year out - means the absolute world to us!
A massive vote of thanks to The Real Review team.
Huge congratulations to all the award winners this year but especially to Sherwyn & Marcel and their team at Bell Hill and their placing as the top winery in NZ
Big news just in from @therealrvw
Team TWR are over the moon as our 2024 SV Syrah has been selected as a finalist for 2026 NZ Red Wine of the Year !!
We have always believed in the potential of Syrah in the South Island and have poured a lot of love into it since our first plantings back in 2004.
To be acknowledged in this way is just mind blowing and we are just so thrilled!
Huge thanks to @ibrokethebeat and @janeskiltonmw for the nomination and massive congratulations to all of the other finalists from across Aotearoa
