Heather & David Turnbull alongside Glenn Thomas & his partner Sharon have bought their families together in a partnership that now also involves the second generation. Glenn Thomas is the pioneering winemaker who helped established the Awatere Valley as one of the world?s great wine regions. Glenn identified the potential of the Turnbull's small north-facing river flats nestled in the upper Awatere Valley and encouraged David & Heather to plant their vineyard in 2002. Glenn and David then formed the partnership that is Tupari Wines. The Tupari Vineyard is located 30 km up the Awatere River at an elevation of 150m. The vineyard is made up of small, sunny river terraces that look down onto the river gorge. The 30m cliffs at the northeast end of the vineyard give inspiration for the name Tupari ? meaning ?cliff? or ?precipice? in Maori. TUpari rhymes with 'Campari.' The thin silty loam over river-run gravels is a harsh environment for any grape vine and it is for this reason that David Turnbull focuses on precision viticulture to achieve optimum flavour for Tupari. David deliberately targets low cropping levels at pruning and when harvest approaches, you will find Glenn out in the vineyard tasting the grapes to ensure the flavours are fully mature prior to picking. Glenn and David work together to ensure that Tupari wines are the ultimate expression of Awatere Valley terroir.    Wine has won an Award Display prices in:     MARLBOROUGH CODE   WHITE WINE VINTAGE VOL.
