Tohu Wines is the world’s first Māori-owned wine company, which created ranges of award-winning, premium quality New Zealand wines that encapsulate their terroir and tūrangawaewae, their sense of place.
Each range has been crafted with aroha (love) and is a gift from our land. “We are Tangata Whenua – People of the land, intrinsically connected to our whenua that we protect, nurture and love.”
From the hilly Kūuiti block at Whenua Matua, this exciting wine continues the legacy of gold at the International Wine Show two years in a row.
Bright, aromatic and mouth-watering.
