Winery Tiraki
Tiraki means in Māori "Clearing of the sky." The Winery in Marlborough owes its name to the expression "Kei Puta te Wairau" – "Hole in the sky over Wairau" – and symbolically stands for optimism and new beginnings.
Created during the 2020 lockdown, when three siblings and a friend retreated to Marlborough, the idea for a Winery between quince brandy and wanderlust was born. Tiraki stands for honest wines, shaped by origin, character, and adventurous spirit.
The motto "We farm wine" sums up the philosophy: familial, connected to nature, and local. Sustainable cultivation, respect for the land, and social commitment shape the work – wine as a force for good.
Tasting Notes
Tiraki Sauvignon Blanc is an expressive white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, produced in the New Zealand region of Marlborough with a lot of handwork and precision. The vineyards are sheltered in the fertile valleys of the South Island, which gives the wine its fresh style.
On the nose, the Tiraki Sauvignon Blanc shows intense aromas of gooseberry, citrus fruits, and a hint of green pepper. On the palate, it is sparkling, juicy, and complex, with a clear acid structure that provides freshness and drinkability. The long, vibrant finish perfectly expresses the origin and signature of the house.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
