About this wine

Tohu Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and expressive wine sourced entirely from vineyards in Marlborough's spectacular Awatere Valley. Bursting with aromas of passionfruit, citrus zest, and fresh herbs, this wine captures the purity and intensity of its cool-climate origin. The palate is layered with tropical fruit, bright lemon and lime, and crunchy green apple, all supported by a distinctive zesty minerality.
