Tohu Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Awatere Valley, Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandTohu is sourced entirely from vineyards located in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. The nose has a fantastic aromatic effect as soon as you approach the glass. Orange, lemongrass, and passionfruit are all in balance, reducing the usual aggressive nose that can plague many Kiwi sauvignons. The attack is equally well-balanced with more ripe, juicy, sweet mandarin, a dash of pink grapefruit, and a mineral, fresh citrus finish. The fruit is all machine-picked and fermented cool for 21 days. The Awatere Valley is cooler, drier, and windier overall than other sub-regions of Marlborough, leading to an even longer growing season and a ripeness few can claim.Tasted: 17 March 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
