Tohu Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Tohu Sauvignon Blanc is an absolute triumph, very approachable and made for sharing. The nose is brimming with ripe passionfruit and citrus zest aromas with accompanying hints of delicate fresh herbs and green pepper. Fine and silky mouthfeel that balances outa crisp and refreshing acidity. Gentle and elegant style. Medley of sweet passionfruit, lychee, key lime and green apple flavours are struck through by a zesty minerality and focused dry finish.

100% Sauvignon Blanc from blocks in the upper, midi and lower areas ofMarlborough’s famed Awatere Valley. The cool, dry and windy climate in the Awatere Valley provides a longer and cooler growing season compared to other sub-regions of Marlborough. The vines grow in young, fertile river terraces that result in a distinctive mineral drive and fruit-forward flavours in the wine. Brought into the world by New Zealand’s first Maori-owned company.

Machine harvesting the fruit at optimum ripeness. Once they arrive at the winery, the fruit goes through pressing into stainless steel tanks for cold settling. Gentle racking and inoculation with select yeasts chosen naturally to enhance the wine’s aromatic and flavour profile. Fermentation at cool temperatures for 21 days. After fermentation, the wine settles on lees for a short period before racking again into stainless steel tanks for maturation. After blending, the resulting wine stabilises and goes through filtering without fining.
