WINE DESCRIPTION
Tohu Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a remarkable wine from New Zealand's Marlborough region. It hails exclusively from Awatere Valley vineyards, displaying a brilliant pale golden green hue. Aromas of tropical fruit, currant-leaf, and herbs precede a palate rich in ripe pineapple, pink grapefruit, and citrus zest. It offers a vibrant, fresh, and extended tasting experience. In winemaking, select Awatere Valley blocks are machine-harvested to maximize flavor and aroma extraction. After pressing, grapes settle in stainless steel tanks, followed by gentle racking and yeast inoculation for enhanced aromatics and flavors. Fermentation occurs at cool temperatures, preserving bright aromas. Post-settling on yeast lees, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks. Precise blending captures vineyard attributes, and the wine is stabilized, filtered, and bottled by mid-July.
