think Tai Tira,
think New Zealand
New Zealand is a wonderland of Sauvignon Blanc and it’s from the Marlborough region that Tai Tira was established. Our New Zealand vignerons have been paving the way, creating uniquely expressive Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in a new world style, putting New Zealand wine on the map and taking the world by storm.
A passion for wine and a yearning to express the unique terroir, our wines are sourced exclusively from Marlborough. The exceptional purity and vibrancy of flavours, engaging aromas, distinctive varietal characteristics and refreshing acidity are hallmarks of New Zealand wine.
Think Tai Tira, think New Zealand, visualise pristine wilderness and feel the crisp Spring sun shining down on you.
winemaking
Our philosophy is simple; to produce classically-styled wines with vibrant aromas and fresh flavours, minerality and purity of expression. Our vineyards are fed by the pure waters of the Waihopai and Wairau Valleys – quintessentially and expressively New Zealand.
Tai Tira, or the Sea Traveller represents the journey undertaken by our wines to faraway lands to be enjoyed by all. It emulates the journey undertaken by those who settled in New Zealand and shared the land with future generations.
Our Tai Tira range evokes a pure, pristine & authentic experience, with each sip instantly transporting you to the picturesque vineyards of New Zealand.
sustainablity
When you enjoy a Tai Tira wine, up to 60% of the carbon cost
associated with production & shipping is tied to the glass bottle. To consciously offset our carbon footprint, we use the lightest bottle available on the New Zealand market; a 417g glass bottle. The days of heavy, grand bottles are well and truly over in our eyes and we feel responsible to minimise the unnecessary environmental impact more traditional bottles carry.
This approach and ethos is carried through the whole Tai Tira journey from grape to bottle. Our vineyards and winery are proudly accredited with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) and committed to ‘best practice’ to minimise our impact on the environment. We align with other production partners who share the same ethos and are certified with ‘Toitù„’ a carbon zero organisation, as working together, we know we can make a difference.
