Tohu Wines’ 2025 Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc captures the distinct sub-regional identity of Marlborough’s cooler, windier southern valley. Planted on alluvial gravel terraces exposed to ocean breezes, the vines undergo extended hang-time, retaining vibrant acidity and intense aromatics.
Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve varietal purity and mineral tension, this vintage highlights the signature tension and aromatic precision characteristic of the Awatere terroir.
Tasting notes
Driven by aromas of lemongrass, fresh lime zest, and crushed tomato leaf alongside a distinct flinty minerality. The palate is linear and taut, delivering intense grapefruit and green apple flavours framed by a piercing, electric acidity that persists onto a clean, slatey finish.
