All of the grapes come from Huia’s meticulously farmed estate vineyards in the Wairau Valley, in the northern part of Marlborough. After fermentation, it is aged on the lees for 5 months and bottled with minimal additions. It also happens to be vegan and vegetarian friendly!

It’s pale lemon in hue, with a perfume of fresh peach, pineapple, orange, ginger and heady florals like jasmine and hibiscus billowing from the glass. Soft mineral nuances add complexity. The palate takes it up a notch: dry, textural, laced with bright, prickly acidity and a finish like candied ginger. Expressive of both place and varietals, all at a bargain price.

47% Gruner Veltliner, 31% Chardonnay, 21% Sauvignon Blanc & 1% Pinot Gris
