Anna & Jason

Anna and Jason are both trained winemakers – one from Australia and one from New Zealand and they have owned and run Te Whare Ra since 2003. Together they have taken Te Whare Ra to new heights and won many awards for their wines and their efforts in organic farming, amongst those many  achievements they have  also produced two sets of twin girls. So life is pretty busy!

Jason grew up in Marlborough and Anna is from McLaren Vale in  South Australia.  With both of them hailing from multi-generational wine backgrounds it was as natural as breathing that they end up with their own winery. They have poured their hearts into restoring Marlborough’s oldest small winery and taking it back to it’s rightful place as one of the best estates in NZ.
