WineScores' Review

Delicious, silky, racy.
Establish in 1998, Tohu is the first entirely Maori owned wine business. It is part of Kono (also a wine label) and is based in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island. With more than 4000 owner families, their goal is preserve and enhance their taonga (treasured possession) for present and future generations.
This delicious Savvy comes from the cooler Awatere Valley within Marlborough, known for is more verdant wines. Gooseberry and passionfruit aromas are layered with lime, elderflower leaf, wildflower honey and white grapefruit. The palate is just as pristine and piquant as the nose. Citrus peel, passionfruit and grass clippings flavours hold court; it also has a silky texture and good length.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
