Tohu Whenua Awa Single Vineyard Chardonnay 12.5

Tohu Whenua Awa Single Vineyard Chardonnay 12.5Select fruit from our Awa Block, Awatere Valley, fermented in 500L French oak puncheons to create integrated body and complexity. Aromas of juicy ripe nectarine and soft smoky oak. Richly textured palate of integrated summer fruits and juicy citrus backed by hints of hazelnut and flint. Seamless balance, refinement and length. Tohu produces award winning New Zealand wine crafted from grapes grown in our breathtakingly beautiful, Awatere Valley

This Pinot Noir blends fruit from two Southern Valleys’ vineyards – 55% from our home Sound of White vineyard in the Waihopai Valley

Wine is then transferred to 1-4 year old French medium toast barriques (2% new oak) for a 9 month maturation in predominantly older oak

there were only one or two days when we felt the usual harvest pressure

Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon - whilst the northeast slopes are ideal for more aromatic varieties Brachetto and Moscato
