This Sauvignon Blanc was made from our Estate grown vineyards which are in conversion to Organics and Bio Dynamic certification.
The grapes were pressed with the different vineyards being kept in separate vessels. Fifteen percent fermented with indigenous yeasts in neutral French oak barrels to add further richness and complexity to the palate.

Established in 1996, Huia (pronounced "HOO-yah") Vineyards is owned and operated by Mike and Claire Allan, who were drawn to Marlborough by the intense flavors found in Marlborough's Sauvignon Blancs. Over the past fifteen years, the Allans have developed an enviable reputation in New Zealand, particularly for their sustainable and aromatic dry whites. Committed to the production of premium and classical Marlborough wines, Huia is focused on hand crafting unique wines that express the richness of Marlborough grapes from the vineyard through to the table. To ensure New Zealand stays clean and green for future generations, Huia has become a member of the New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowers. Both the winery and the vineyards have received the Sustainable Accreditation.

Surprising to many, the now famous wine region of Marlborough on the South Island of New Zealand didn't have a commercial vineyard until 1973. Now, Marlborough produces some of the best Sauvignon Blanc's and Pinot Noir's in the world, and is by far the most prestigious wine growing districts in the country. With almost 40% of the entire country's vineyards planted, the distinctive cool climates give the winemakers the capability of making wines with real elegance.

Body/Type

Light Bodied (129)
Light Bodied
Light and crisp, often with higher acidity, these wines, whether red, white or rosé, pair well with vegetables, seafood and lighter meats.

Acidity – malic, lactic and other naturally occurring acids in grapes which serve to balance the sweet and fruit flavors in a wine, also lending to the age-ability of a wine.
Medium Bodied (236)
Medium Bodied
Often considered to be the most flexible and food-friendly wines, these wines, due to their fuller flavors, lower acidity and softer textures, also drink well by the glass.

Full Bodied (234)

These wines, made from thicker-skinned, riper grapes, are often aged in oak, adding depth and complexity. These wines standup well to rich, intensely flavored foods.
Sparkling (47)

Bone dry to juicy sweet, these Champagnes, Proseccos and other bubblies are not just for celebratory toasts, but are great as starters or accompaniments to a meal.
Sweet (14)

Decadently sweet, these late harvest, and other naturally sweet wines, can be paired with desserts…or can BE the dessert.
Fortified (17)

Style

Modern (235)
Modern
Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the grapes; clean and pure. Great by the glass…and with food.
Traditional (399)
Traditional
Wines that accentuate the characteristics of the soil and terroir; complex, minerally in the whites and earthy in the reds, these wines are often considered the best “food wines”

Terroir – the combined effects of environment and winemaking technique that, when practiced consistently over the years, create a signature style of a particular region or wine type.
Off-Dry (17)
Off-Dry
With a bit of grape sugar left after fermentation, these food-friendly wines, sparkling or still, contain a touch of sweetness.
Sweet (2)
Sweet
Whether from residual or supplemented sugar, these wines are viscous and sweet.
