Toi Toi Lifestyle Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Lemon, Melon

"Pristine and brightly expressed, the fragrant bouquet shows crunchy apple, kiwifruit, nectarine, and lemon peel aromas, leading to a succulent palate filled with vibrant fruit flavours, backed by crisp acidity, finishing long and delectable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

"There’s no mistaking the power and pungency - fresh citrus peel, mandarin and cape gooseberry, white stone fruits and apple then passionfruit, sage and bell-pepper suggestions. Salivating, crisp and dry with a backbone of acidity framing fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Well-made and ready to drink from late 2025 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

This pale straw Sauvignon Blanc showcases vibrant aromas of ripe lime, passionfruit, and a hint of fresh herbs. Subtle notes of mineral and citrus blossom add complexity. The palate is juicy and expressive, layered with tropical fruit and zesty citrus, underpinned by bright acidity. Softly textured yet crisp, it lingers with a refreshing, mineral finish.

From snow capped mountains to endless coastline, our native Toi Toi expresses itself distinctively across New Zealand. This adaptability is the inspiration for our wines - crafted from New Zealand’s best grape growing regions. Proudly family owned and sustainably produced – protecting our lands for future generations.

Fruit was sourced from two of Marlborough’s most celebrated subregions, the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. The Wairau parcels contribute plush tropical notes and generosity on the palate, while the Awatere parcels bring zesty citrus, herbal nuance, and a distinctive mineral edge. Each parcels was vinified separately across stainless-steel tanks, allowing us to capture and preserve the unique character of each site before carefully blending for complexity and harmony.

The 2025 growing season in Marlborough will be remembered for its mild, balanced conditions that produced Sauvignon Blanc of exceptional purity and vibrancy. A cool, steady spring set the tone for even flowering, while summer brought long, warm days tempered by crisp nights, preserving the hallmark aromatics and natural acidity the region is renowned for. A dry autumn allowed for extended hang time, delivering beautifully ripe fruit with concentrated flavours and perfect balance.

Food Pairing: Perfect with freshly shucked oysters or a summer salad with goat cheese and herbs.
