Tokoeka Pink Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Tokoeka Pink Sauvignon Blanc greets the palate with a lively, refreshing character that makes it perfect for sunny afternoons or festive gatherings. With an ABV of 12.5%, this New Zealand wine is crafted using classic Sauvignon Blanc grapes, enhanced by a subtle blush from a touch of red varietals. The result is a vibrant, modern twist on the traditional style, produced in the cool-climate vineyards that give Marlborough wines their signature crispness and aromatic lift.

On tasting, Tokoeka Pink Sauvignon Blanc reveals bright notes of passionfruit, pink grapefruit, and wild strawberry layered over zesty citrus and delicate florals. Its juicy acidity and light body make it an excellent companion for tangy goat cheese or grilled shrimp, where the wine’s fruit-forward profile complements creamy textures and smoky flavors alike. This pairing brings out both the freshness of the wine and the savory depth of your meal.
