WINE DESCRIPTION
Tohu Sauvignon Blanc from the Awatere Valley epitomizes the quality and precision of Marlborough winemaking. Sourced from the Arapoto Block, planted in 2002, this organic Sauvignon Blanc benefits from optimal growing conditions—excellent spring bloom, an unusually cool February, and a warm, clear late summer that ensured perfect harvest timing. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve the vibrant fruit character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tohu Sauvignon Blanc presents an expressive bouquet of zesty lime, ripe gooseberry, and subtle hints of passion fruit.On the palate, it reveals a vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy texture, with flavors of citrus and green apple. The wine’s crisp, clean finish makes it a perfect match for fresh seafood, goat cheese, or a summer salad.
