NEW, fresh, tangy.
This new Kiwi Pinot is tangy; notes of cocoa, wild red berries, cherries, tealeaf, cedar chips and rainforest floor lead to an equally juicy palate. High-toned red and purple berries, fine spice and hints of oak tannins line the palate. It is fresh and straightforward.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Value, snappy, pristine.
New look!
nappy aromas of green beans and nettle, tangy green apples and gooseberry with undertones of elderflower. Pristine and verdant with a mouthwatering finish this is a tasty and quaffable Savvy at a very attractive price.

Value, snappy, quaffable.
Serious value and seriously tasty, this snappy Savvy is made by New Zealand's first Maori owned winery, Tohu, which was established in 1998. In Maori, Tohu means sign or signature. In all, the company produces not only Tohu, Kono and Aronui wines, but farms Kono mussels and makes fruit bars and Tutu cider. They hold firm to the core value that love for the land and respect for the sea must be ever present; to prosper, the environment must be well and healthy, full of life and vitality.
The 2019 Kono is as lively as always; peach and crunchy green apples aromas are layered with elderflower, lime and snap peas. Quaffable and tangy and flavoured with gooseberry, citrus and passionfruit, this is a lip-smacking white that will put a smile on your face.

It's zesty and pristine; peach and lime flavours dominate. It has a lip-smacking character and zesty finish. Deliciously easy to drink.
