Huia Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Marlborough, New Zealand

Huia Vineyards is owned and run by Claire and Mike Allan, started in 1990 with the first vintage in 1997. Organically certified and working biodynamically, Huia is committed to producing hand crafted quality wines in the most natural way possible. Two estate vineyards provide grapes for the Huia Sauvignon Blanc. The stony sandy loam soils of the Huia vineyard offer a tropical fruit profile while the clay-based soils of our Winsome vineyard provide herbaceous notes, lime and minerality to the wine. The grapes are pressed with the vineyards kept in separate vessels. A percentage of the juice undergoes natural fermentation in a mixture of neutral to new French oak, which adds further richness and complexity to the wine. The wine is fermented through to a dry style. Taste: Guava. Melon. Gooseberry and lime zest. Mineral notes balancing ripe acidity.
