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.
Region:Malborough
Grapes:Chardonnay
Taste:A pale lemon color. On the nose, it offers fresh and vibrant aromas of key lime pie, lemon sorbet, citrus blossom, kaffir lime leaf, nectarine, and honeysuckle. Lively acidity is combined with a touch of residual sugar, resulting in a very dry style for this wine. Flavors of lemon zest, pie crust, green apple, and narcissus ultimately lead to a flinty, mineral finish.
