Tohu Single Vineyard Whenua Awa Pinot Blanc 2018

Taste & Other Notes

Very rich, rounded and lush, packed with yellow peach characters, full oak ferment flavours, soft toasted almonds. Creamy cheese characters in the very long finish

Made like a chardonnay that has had the full treatment – oak, lees stirring, malo fermentation to the point the delicate Pinot Blanc flavours disappear, irrespective of that it is still a delicious, finely crafted wine.
