Tohu Marewa Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

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.

Marewa means to rise or to lift up. From an elevated site above the braided Awatere River, Marewa Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the Arapoto block of the Whenua Awa Vineyard, reflecting the cool, lifted character of Whenua Awa — fresh, bright, and shaped by place.
