Tutu Cider from New Zealand Makes West Coast Debut

11 Apr 2016 --- Developed from a secret family recipe using native Fuji apples and crafted in the ancient Maori lands, Tutu Cider makes its debut in California. Kono, New Zealand's leading indigenous beverage and food producer, is proud to bring their latest craft to the American beverage market.

"Having already garnered an excellent national and international reputation for our Kono, Tohu, and Aronui wines, we knew that we had the skill and knowledge to present a unique offering to a growing segment of the beverage market," commented Dan Taylor, Export Sales Manager, Kono NZ.

The name Tutu comes from a Maori colloquial term for being cheeky and mischievous, fitting for the younger, sprightlier sibling of the Kono beverage family.

At 5% ABV, this gluten-free, delicious single varietal hard cider is crafted using the company's very own Fuji apples, sun ripened on their ancestral lands in Nelson at the top of the South Island. From the planting of the trees, to the final bottling of the cider, the Kono team carefully crafts each step of the process, to provide a cider that offers a fresh, crisp fruit bouquet.

Tutu SRP is $6.99-$7.49 and is imported to the United States by Total Beverage Solution.
