Suitable for vegetarians \\Twenty years ago, we established the worlds first Mori-owned wine business. We are part of a family business and business of families. Our tpuna were kaitiaki of whenua and moana - farmers, fishermen, planters and providores. They were astute, creative and entrepreneurial. It is our responsibility to uphold their legacy, and enhance the resources they passed down to us, now and for future generations. Today we create internationally recognised award-winning wines while remaining true to our deeply held values, which include rangatiratanga, kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga excellence, guardianship and kindness. Every Tohu bottle carries our distinctive logo, derived from a koru pattern. For Mori, the koru symbolises growth, life and the natural world, and our logo celebrates this iconic spiral. It represents the growth of our company and the journey of our people from the past to today. This koru signifies our long-term intergenerational goals and has become our tohu, our signature.

History
Tohu produces award-winning New Zealand wine crafted from grapes grown in our breathtakingly beautiful, Awatere Valley vineyard. When Tohu launched in 1998 we were the world's first Mori-owned wine company. Since then we've grown a reputation for producing premium wine in a range of varieties, winning awards for our Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Mthode Traditionnelle.
Regional Information
Grapes for this wine are sourced from blocks located in the upper, mid, and lower areas of the Awatere Valley. The Awatere Valley is cooler, drier and windier overall than other sub-regions of Marlborough, with a longer and cooler growing season. These climatic factors combined with vineyards located on young, fertile river terraces result in distinctive wines with a mineral drive and fruit-forward flavours.

Vinification Details
Select blocks from the Awatere Valley are harvested by machine. At the winery the grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks for cold settling, and then racked and inoculated with select yeasts. Fermentation is carried out at cool temperatures, each batch fermented for around 21 days After fermentation the wines are left on lees for a short period before being racked again into stainless steel tanks for maturation. Once blended the resulting wine is stabilised and filtered without the need for fining.
