HUIA

Claire and Mike Allan were drawn to Marlborough by the potential for intense fruit flavours and the promise of rounded, elegant wines.  They bought the land in 1990 and started making wine as Huia in 1996. At Huia, the creation of good wine and a commitment to the environment go hand in hand. The result is elegant, hand crafted wines that go to help define the potential of Marlborough. With a focus on organics and biodynamics, Huia makes beautiful wines for today, while protecting the vitality of the soils for future generations.

Grapes:Pinot Noir 

Taste:On the nose the wine shows spice, violets, vanilla and dark cherry. The palate is rich and full with plum and dark cherry  alongside hints of smoke, spice and savoury notes. The French oak imparts a gentle vanilla pod flavour and the  silky but firm grape tannins are well integrated. The wine has great balance, length and structure and will age well.
