TOHU Wines

Tohu Wines is the world's first Māori owned wine company.

Tohu Wines is part of Kono, a Māori, whānau-owned company based in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island.

Located in Upper Moutere, Nelson is our vineyard Whenua Matua. Our vineyard name translates to 'significant land'. True to its name, this land holds a special place in our hearts. Situated in the Moutere Hills area of the Nelson region, the vineyard sits on ancient Māori tribal land that has been handed down through our tūpuna, ancestors, for hundreds of years. We like to think the wine grown here is not only a gift from the land but also our tūpuna.

Thoughtfulness, kindness and hospitality are central to our identity as Māori. We value people above all things. One of our core values at Tohu, manaakitanga, encapsulates care and respect for people and relationships, including the natural environment. It governs the way we interact with one another.

Today, Tohu is acknowledged as He mātāmua taketake - the original, the first Māori-owned and operated wine label. Our wine is enjoyed by people worldwide, and its quality has been recognised through many prestigious awards and accolades.

"Every Tohu bottle carries our distinctive logo, derived from a koru pattern. For Māori, the koru symbolises growth, life and the natural world and our logo celebrate this iconic spiral. It represents our company's growth and our people's journey from the past to today. This koru signifies our long-term intergenerational goals and has become our tohu, our signature."
