Since 1998, Tohu has focused on producing estate grown, single vineyard wines from New Zealand’s premier grape growing regions. The Tohu winemaking philosophy is to create wines that capture the flavours of each region’s unique environment, while upholding respect and protection of the land for future generations. Today, Tohu is acknowledged as He mātāmua taketake - the original, the first Māori-owned and operated wine label. Tohu Wines is part of Kono, a Māori, whānau-owned company based in Te Tauihu , the top of the South Island.
Sourced entirely from vineyards located in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, this wine is a bright luminous pale golden green in the glass. On the nose tropical fruit, currant-leaf and herbal notes lead to a concentrated palate of ripe pineapple, pink grapefruit and citrus zest; creating a vibrant wine with freshness and length.
Pair with mussel fritters with lime zest, caper and fresh basil aioli.
