Tohu Tohu Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2024 750ml

Very pretty aromas of green melon and dried lemons follow through to a medium body with focused fruit as well as stone undertones. Medium finish. A precise and refined sauvignon blanc with tension. Drink now. Screw cap.

A zippy burst of waxy lime peel, passionfruit and lemongrass aromas—with white florals and dried herbal nuances behind—leads to an ultra fresh, well balanced palate with tangy, tongue-tingling acidity and lovely flavor intensity: those mouth-watering citrus flavors lingering on the finish.

The 2024 Tohu Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley is an intensely concentrated, texturally clothy/waxy wine, with dried herbs, white strawberry, pineapple husk, quinine-like freshness to the acidity and a coastal sort of capaciousness to the mid-palate. These are all good things. It's an unexpected wine if I'm honest—it's not the usual "tropical fruits" of Marlborough, but it still speaks of the place, albeit in an Awatere frame. This is good, if a little slick through the finish. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Passion fruit, citrus and peach flavors are fresh and focused on a light and juicy frame, with hints of lemon basil and thyme. Drink now. 58,000 cases made, 13,000 cases imported.
