Huia Vineyards

Huia Vineyards

Claire and Mike Allan planted the first vines at Huia in 1994 and formally started Huia Vineyards in 1996. From then until now, the health of the earth and the happiness of the people at Huia have always been the most important factors. It takes great land and great people to make great wine. Those early years were spent gaining valuable experience in wineries in Marlborough, with Mike at Cloudy Bay and Vavasour while Claire was at Corbans and Lawson’s Dry Hills. They also both worked and made wine in Champagne at Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger respectively. Huia Vineyards, a boutique hands-on producer, uses no pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides in the vineyards, adhering to minimal intervention where possible, allowing the earth and the elements to be expressed in the final wine. Huia wines are known to have great natural texture and finesse.

Pinot Noir

Vintage 2019

RED
● 100% Pinot Noir

A savoury, developing Pinot Noir that shows a wonderful balance of spicy, earthen notes, with violet florals and compote characters. Look for smoke, dried plum, dried leaves, and dark cherry. It’s silky but solid, with plenty to enjoy.

Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage 2023

WHITE
● 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Huia’s Sauvignon Blanc has light golden straw in color. The smell is tropical guava and white floral. The taste is textural and layered, combining melon, gooseberry, and white peach, with excellent length. The result is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, well balanced and with classic minerality.
