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.

It is all about focusing the lens on the nooks and crannies of Marlborough's sub regions, soils and climates for the Mud House Sub Region Series. Building on over 20 years of producing wine from New Zealand's iconic Marlborough region, our winemakers select grapes from the different parts of the region, that offer a unique expression of key varietals.

A superb Tawny from a leading Port house. Dow's Tawny is a very fine and delicate style, with pretty red fruits balanced by nutty depth derived from an average of three years aging in small oak casks.
