Twenty five years ago Tohu established the world's first Maori-owned wine business and have been producing award winning wines ever since. With a host of glowing reviews, the Tohu WHENUA Matua Albarino 2025 is no exception. This delightful wine is zesty and dry, with a hint of saline minerality that makes it the ultimate match for fresh fresh and seafood.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Varietal, fruity, saline and fresh. Aromas and flavours of white peaches and tropical fruits with a pineapple then fresh rose apple quality, framed by a citrus peel and sea spray quality. Mineral, dry, salivating and delicious, a wine perfect as an aperitif or with fresh salty seafood and oysters. Youthful still and needs some settling in time with best drinking from late 2026 through 2031+."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Pristine and finely expressed, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, ripe pear, lemongrass, and white-flower notes, leading to a brilliantly focused palate delivering a linear mouthfeel and juicy-fruit intensity. Beautifully poised and vibrant with a lengthy, mouthwatering finish. At its best: now to 2029."
The winery writes "A lively Nelson Albariño from our Upper Moutere vineyard. Bright citrus, white florals and juicy stone fruit lead into a fresh, mineral palate with vibrant acidity. Clean, focused and easy to enjoy, with a long finish that makes it a natural match for food."
