Sometimes we need consistency in our lives, a burger stop on a long road trip, the same bad telly on a Sunday night or a constant supply of Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, luckily we are in the position to bring you the latter. So here it is, a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough that’s so typical of the style and named after an indigenous tall tree called the Tortara. It’s tropical and has notes of lime and pea pods before a zesty, citrus palate that’s long and powerful.
From the Winery
The Totara Wines family are true to their region, they express typical varietal characters, complexity and like the Totara tree, are made for longevity.
The fruit and winemaking techniques used in the production of these wines are focused towards producing wines with a point of difference, and to be food-friendly in style.
Alan Peters-Oswald joined the Totara Wines team as winemaker in October 2010, bringing with him a desire to promote the regional and varietal identity of each of the Totara wines. Based in Marlborough, Alan spent his early years in Central Otago and is excited to produce and promote wines from two regions that have had a huge influence on his winemaking career.
