Tohu Wines is the world’s first Māori owned wine company. Since 1998, Tohu has focused on producing estate-grown, single-vineyard wines from NZ’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. Certainly, they have captured the essence of their philosophies in this latest release 2020 Single Vineyard Awa Chardonnay.

Enticing aromas of smoke, freshly buttered toast, grapefruit, nectarines, melons and burnt match, slightly funky but layered amongst oodles of rich, ripe fruit.

Rich concentrated ripe stone fruit flavours with toasty, vanilla, and smoky nuisances. Harmony strides between the ripe fruit, racy, lemony acidity, all laced together by the creamy mid-palate texture and the finely woven oak flavours adding, depth and complexity. A stunning Marlborough Chardonnay that could age for 2-4 years or offers excellent drinking now. Enjoy with roasted white meats. Recommended serving temperature is 10-13 degrees.
