For TWR's main blend of Pinot Noir they prefer the flavour profiles from the southern side of Marlborough - this sub-region is called the Southern Valleys or Southern Clays. The soil types in this area of Marlborough are much older than the Wairau flood plain, they also have much lower fertility and a much higher clay component which gives the wines more depth and structure.

This SV5182 Pinot Noir is a special selection of the best parcels from the eight different clones currently producing on TWR's home vineyard. Year after year as the vines mature, TWR are seeing an increasing depth and complexity in the wines and they have chosen to showcase that with their SV Pinot Noir.
