Tohu Marewa Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2024

An elegant, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc with subtle layers and structure.

Description

Crafted from the Arapoto block within our Whenua Awa vineyard, Marewa Sauvignon Blanc expresses the clarity, tension and refinement that define the Upper Awatere. Low yields and a long, even growing season delivered fruit of outstanding concentration, allowing a portion of the wine to mature in French oak puncheons for enhanced texture and depth. The result is a layered, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc that balances lifted aromatics with a finely structured palate, capturing the essence of place with precision and poise.

Icon & Symbolism

Pronounced mar-reh-wah. Marewa speaks of our relationship with the land and Whenua Awa
vineyard’s place within it, perched high above the
braided Awatere River. This height brings cooler,
lifted conditions that nurture bright acidity and
refined flavour.
The icon reflects life cycles, renewal and our intent
— As the land nurtures us, we nurture it in return.
In that shared movement, both are lifted.
Marewa is a wine that captures this ascension —
fresh, bright and alive with the energy of place.
