Bob Campbell: Tohu 2024 Rose

BOB’S BEST BUYS 

Wine: Tohu 2024 Rose, Nelson $18.99 

 

Why I chose it: 

• It tastes as good as it looks.
• Its pink, white and gold label captures the essence of Christmas.
• It’s a crowd-pleaser – who could possibly not like this wine? 
• 2024 was a great Nelson vintage. 

 

What does it taste like? 

Pale straw-coloured rose with restrained guava, pomegranate, wildflowers and raspberry flavours. Pristine wine with appealing purity and a seamless texture. A hint of sweetness is balanced by gentle, fruity acidity to give a pleasantly dry finish. 

 

Why it’s a bargain

An exceptional wine at a great price. 

 

Where can you buy it?      

• The Good Wine Co, Auckland $15.99
• First Glass Wines and Spirits, Auckland $16.99
• Blackmarket.co.nz, Auckland $16.99     

 

Food match?  

Perfect with the snapper that I plan to catch in the New Year.

  

Will it keep?   

Drink up!

lovely pink, white and gold label. I'm not usually influenced
by labels, but I was in this case, and it
sort of seemed to capture the essence of Christmas. And
it tastes as good as it looks. That's important, of course,
And I think the wine is a real crowd pleaser.

Pale? It's a pale pink colored rose with sort of
restrained gaber pomegranate, wildflowers and raspberry flavors. It's sort of
quite a pristine wine with appealing sort of purity and
a seamless texture. It's got a hint of sweetness balanced
by gentle fruity acidity to give a pleasantly dry finish,

Speaking of Christmas given, Oh my goodness, a month and
two days away. After eleven o'clock this morning, we could
catch up with our sustainability expert. She is, you know,
always trying to be really thoughtful when it comes to

(02:51):
gift giving, and she's got some great tips for us
this year. She's not being a total grint. She wants
to make it really clear. She does have tips on
giving Christmas gifts, and not all of them are stuff
that you've made yourself. It's not all just you know,
Christmas cards made with dry macaroni and that kind of thing. No,
she's actually got some stuff that you could buy and
give that she thinks is really thoughtful, plus some alternative

(03:12):
options if you don't necessarily want to give stuff, but
you want to give the loved ones in your life
an experience. So she's going to be with us after
eleven with those tips.
