The story of Toi Toi Marl Sauvignon Blanc 7

Toi Toi is a family-owned label from Kevin and Sara Joyce. They developed the Brookdale vineyard in Marlborough's Omaka Valley in 2006, and the Toi Toi label followed in 2007 with their partners Andrew and Julie Bonner. The first wine, from the 2007 vintage, was this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The Joyces bought out the Bonners in 2017 and now run the business with their children, including Adam as chief executive.

The name comes from toitoi, a native grass that grows from the mountains to the sea and adapts to almost any climate. Brookdale, the family's first vineyard, is 28 hectares in a narrow valley that is open to the north, so the vines get full sun all day. Winemaker Ant MacKenzie has made wine for almost 30 years, and Marlborough is the heartland of the Toi Toi range.

The wine is pale straw. Passionfruit, kiwi fruit and feijoa lead the nose with a hint of musk, and the palate is crisp and lively. Serve it chilled with fresh salads, delicate fish and seafood, seared asparagus, or brightly flavoured Thai dishes and lighter curries.
