Tohu One Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Name: Tohu One Single Vineyard Pinot Noir - Vinumlector
SKU: NZ0084

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 their land.

“We are Tangata Whenua – People of the land, intrinsically connected to our whenua that we protect, nurture and love.”

Pronounced ‘Oh-neh’ in Maori, One means earth or soil. The soils formed over millennia nourished by the Kaikōura ranges and carried to Whenua Awa by the braided Awatere River make our vineyard unique.

The One icon — the maunga, mountain holding our koru — symbolises growth grounded in permanence and stability.

A graceful yet powerful expression of the Upper Awatere Valley, Tohu One Pinot Noir combines concentrated fruit, wild fermentation and considered oak maturation to deliver a wine of depth, character and lasting finesse.

APPEARANCE
Bright ruby with garnet rims.

NOSE
Bright bramble fruit, crushed dried herbs and earthy undertones.

PALATE
Dark berry and red plum layered by smoky French oak, subtle char, cigar box and savoury depth. Silky finish, expressive and lingering with fine tannin balance. A refined, cool-climate Single Vineyard Pinot Noir with concentrated fruit, savoury complexity and elegant structure.

AGEING
The winemaking includes wild fermentation and a small percentage of whole-cluster integration, which pairs with a judicious use of French oak barriques to enhance the wine’s complex peppery aromas.

PAIRING
It pairs beautifully with dishes that share its earthy and herb-forward traits, such as vegetarian risotto or herbed meats.
