					<description><![CDATA[Journey into the wildflowers, a secret world between the vines where insects dance from petal to stem, a flourishing ecosystem amongst the rows. It’s all part of the Petal &#38; Stem’s project to protect the vines and keep pests away naturally. So as you’re busy enjoying this wine, remember these little friends between the flowers who help to do things both differently, and beautifully.

Crafted from select parcels in Marlborough, this vintage showcases purity of fruit, floral finesse, and a clean, dry finish. Perfectly embodying the sophisticated style of modern rosé.

					<description><![CDATA[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.

					<description><![CDATA[The award-winning Calrossie Vineyard wines from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand are celebrated for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage.

This 2024 Dry Riesling is the first release of Riesling as a standalone variety. Typically harvested and fermented with Sauvignon Blanc, the textbook 2024 vintage gave the perfect opportunity to separately harvest and ferment this as a standalone wine worth of its own label and bottling.

From rich clay soils and high-density planted vines, Calrossie Vineyard produces wines of great palate weight, fresh acidity and intensity of flavour. The 2024 vintage was a low yielding, cool and dry one, allowing to pick the fruit on at perfect physiological ripeness without any pressure from weather or other events.

					<description><![CDATA[The award-winning Calrossie Vineyard wines from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand are celebrated for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage.

100% Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit was sourced from the Rose Family Vineyard in Omaka Valley, Marlborough. Chosen for its similarity to the Calrossie Vineyard (in the Awatere Valley), the soils are also wind-blown loess over rich clay. The 2023 growing season in Marlborough was an easy one, perhaps only made challenging by rain at harvest time. That said, good luck and a well- timed pick had us harvest the fruit at perfect ripeness and in great condition.

The difference is the key to blending a truly authentic expression of the region’s terroir.
The gift of knowledge and rich, unspoiled lands have created award winning wines over flowing with personality and purity.

Classic Marlborough harvest conditions with clear days and cool nights prevailed in 2022, with the grapes developing ripe, concentrated fruit flavours without losing the crisp balancing acidity and freshness our wines are renowned for.

					<description><![CDATA[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.

<em>"We are Tangata Whenua - People of the land, intrinsically connected to our whenua that we protect, nurture and love."</em>

Whenua Awa, the Upper Awatere Valley vineyard, is one of these special sites and rich in history.
This single vineyard best expresses the uniqueness of this place and the relationship within it.
Intense ripe dark fruit aromas and soft silky tannins result from this unfined and unfiltered, complex and elegantly structured  Pinot Noir.
