They are priced to make them very competitive and are suitable for wine by the glass or a less expensive Marlborough pair. Their attractive labels make them a great 'Wine of the Month' option as well. The wines are exceptionally good for the price range.

History
Native to the north and south islands of New Zealand, the Totara tree has long been revered by Maoris for the diverse qualities and uses of its timber. The strength, durability, resistance to rot and light weight wood of this conifer made it ideal for canoes and carving, as well as being the primary material used for fence posts or building houses and wharves during early European settlement.
Growing to over 30 metres high, the Totara tree is also well reputed for it’s medicinal properties, known to treat an array of conditions from reducing fever to promoting hair growth and was used to splint up sprains or broken limbs.

Contact Lee, Casey or Kiki for all the details.
