We Have Moved!
We are opening a new cellar door at the winery. This cellar door will be located at our winery just down the road from our previous one at 108 McShane Road. It will enable us to showcase our wines to guests from all over the world. It is hoped the new cellar door will be open in time for Christmas. Meanwhile fans of our wine can still buy our wines direct from our winery via the "Buy" link on this website. Look forward to seeing you there.
Ice Wine - Melts in the mouth!
We have just launched our new Te Mãnia 2007 Ice Wine. This delicious wine strikes a wonderful balance between concentrated sweetness and acid which makes for mouth watering drinking. It shows intense vibrant fruit with citrus and honey suckle flavours and aromas. It has a wonderful long lingering finish.
Riesling Stars
Te Mãnia Riesling 2006 was awarded GOLD at the Royal New Zealand Show. What does it taste like?...Perhaps this review by Sam Kim in Wine Orbit says it best...“This is a very promising young Riesling and may turn out to be outstanding. Lifted aromas of fresh apple, lime/lemon and mineral characters indicating little or no botrytis influence. It’s pure Riesling. The palate delivers excellent concentration and fine texture with gentle sweetness which is well balanced by the crisp acidity. The length is very long and delicate. A stunning, youthful Riesling displaying focus, precision and tightly knit structure.” Smart Buy 93 points ***** Stars
Taste, July 2007 - Best Value Pinot Noir
Te Mãnia 2005 Nelson Pinot Noir was chosen Best Value Wine by Bob Campbell MW on his list of New Zealand's Top Pinot Noir's. "Soft, richly textured, silken and slightly leafy pinot noir. Long and very appealing. Good density with black cherry and plum flavours together with a seasoning of spicy oak."
Pinot Gold
Te Mãnia Nelson Reserve Pinot Noir has won Gold again - this time at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards. "Pinot fans can try this pinot and others at Pinot
2007 in Wellington. Made on in top vintages we will be doing a mini
vertical tasting of our Reserve Pinot Noir 2001 (Bragato overall Champion),
2003 (Gold medal, Top 10 NZ pinots Jancis R.) and of course the 2005 (which
won Gold Air NZ)."
Te Mania Riesling Selected to Represent the Nelson Region.
Te Mãnia was honoured to be selected to represent the Nelson Region at international wine shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra. “Australia make some pretty fair dinkum Rieslings of their own and were wowed with intense citrus and lime characters of our kiwi version of this noble grape”
Cuisine – Outstanding Value for Quality & Price
Te Mãnia Reserve Chardonnay 2004 was selected ‘Best Buy’ by Cuisine Magazine for outstanding value for quality and price. Noting…“This finely textured wine has nutty, creamy aromas leading into a tight, elegant wine with good vigour and intensity. The palate is concentrated and complex, with well-ripened fruit flavours, rich and lingering. 4.5 stars”
Bob Campbell MW, Home and Entertaining 05
“This tasting unearthed several Pinot Noir bargains. Te Mãnia Reserve 2003 is a prime example. This Nelson wine knocks the spots off many of its more expensive peers. ...Cherry, plum and dark berry flavours were noted in this very big and quite oaky wine. It clearly has good cellaring potential.” Gold Medal 93 Points. Best value for money.
Jancis Robinson Favourite Pinot Noir
Jancis Robinson in Decanter magazine selected Te Mãnia Reserve Pinot as one of her top 10 New Zealand Pinot Noirs, commenting “Te Mãnia produce wines with an impressive combination of early charm and evidence of future potential.”
