We belong to Māori-owned, family-owned business, Wakatū Incorporation. A business comprising approximately 250 families who descend from the customary Māori land owners of the Nelson, Motueka and Golden Bay regions. A business established to protect, preserve and enhance the land of the original owners.
Inspired by our ancestors, the original providores, trading the fruits of their labour from the gardens and forests of Te Tau Ihu, and with the growing popularity of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, we planted vines on the lands, and the rest is history.
Our first bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc was produced in 2006. Today, we produce over 1.5million bottles of award-winning Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Rated a Best Value Wine in Wine Spectator eight times, our Kono Sauvignon Blanc is a true expression of the stunning Marlborough region.
Our wine is produced at our home, the Tohu Winery, located in Marlborough, New Zealand.
