Toi Toi Wines aims to create quality, distinctive New Zealand wines by sourcing premium varietals from the regions in which they are most renowned

New Zealand is renowned for many things, foremost among them is their pristine environment and the relationship between the people, the land and their wines. Toi Toi takes its cue from these relationships creating wines with flavour, body and character that are perfect for every occasion. Toi Toi wines are "Inspired by Nature".

Even their name comes from nature; Toi Toi (pronounced Toy Toy) is a graceful native flowering grass that is quintessential New Zealand. Just like grape vines, Toi Toi has adapted to New Zealand's awe-inspiring, diverse sub-regional climates – providing inspiration for their winemaking.

Toi Toi Wines create quality wines for people to enjoy, which at the same time showcase New Zealand's diversity and beauty.
