TOHU AWATERE VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC 2025

Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"From the cool, rugged landscapes of Marlborough’s Awatere Valley is this Sauvignon Blanc with striking vibrancy and purity. This 2025 release is bursting with citrus zest, sweet tropical fruit, and a crisp mineral edge. Crafted with precision and care, it’s a lively, expressive wine that captures the essence of its high-altitude vineyards."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"An intense and high energy bouquet with aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruits, apple and lemon, even some makrut lime and sea spray ideas. Crisp and dry, saline and fruity, taut and new. A delicious wine with a quiver of energy and power, flavours of tree, tropical and citrus fruit all return with a light spiced jalapeno quality. Best drinking from December 2025 through 2029."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Obit, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Bright and fresh, the inviting bouquet shows crisp apple, grapefruit, rockmelon, and lemon peel aromas. The palate is equally appealing with succulent fruit intensity, backed by vibrant acidity, finishing long and exuberant. At its best: now to 2028."

90/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"From the Awatere Valley in Marlborough in a season that ‘delivered near-perfect growing conditions’. A pale steely-green colour in the glass. The aromatic and intense bouquet begins with fresh herbaceous notes, followed by pineapple, grapefruit, melon, blackcurrant, pea pod, mandarin and passionfruit. Acidity is bright but not overt, balanced well by those more tropical flavours you find in the nose. There is some weight mid-palate, and a touch of savoury to contrast with the plush fruit, with fennel, green olive and a stony mineral showing. The finish is clean and refreshing."
