Tohu Whenua Matua Single Vineyard Nelson Albariño 2020
"Beautifully fruited and finely scented, the wine shows apricot, green rockmelon, lemongrass, and lime peel aromas on the nose, followed by a brilliantly focused palate offering saline texture baked by racy acidity, finishing splendidly long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2025
Layers of citrus peel and juicy stonefruit flavours with hints of beeswax. A lively palate with bright acidity and minerality. A delightful long and lingering finish. Aromatic and fresh, this lively Nelson Albariño shows zesty citrus, succulent underlying salinity, and complexity gained through bottle age.
We are tangata whenua – people of the land. We are intrinsically connected to our whenua that we protect, nurture and love.
Upper Moutere, Nelson, New Zealand. Kuiti (Narrow) block. Planted 2011. 1.4ha. Ancient Moutere alluvium clay soils, featuring deeply weathered and dissected gravels.
Perfect conditions over flowering resulted in even fruit levels across the block. Dry summer conditions with cool nights advanced ripeness in the fruit while retaining balanced levels of acidity. A successful harvest period with grapes picked at optimal ripeness with an outstanding flavour profile.
Carefully hand-harvested, the grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed. Cool fermentation carried out with carefully selected strains of aromatic yeast. Bottled early to retain freshness while allowing for extended maturation in the bottle before release.
