Huia 2022 Marlborough Tangle

All of the grapes come from Huia’s meticulously farmed estate vineyards in the Wairau Valley, in the northern part of Marlborough. After fermentation, it is aged on the lees for 5 months and bottled with minimal additions. It also happens to be vegan and vegetarian friendly!

It’s pale lemon in hue, with a perfume of fresh peach, pineapple, orange, ginger and heady florals like jasmine and hibiscus billowing from the glass. Soft mineral nuances add complexity. The palate takes it up a notch: dry, textural, laced with bright, prickly acidity and a finish like candied ginger. Expressive of both place and varietals, all at a bargain price.

47% Gruner Veltliner, 31% Chardonnay, 21% Sauvignon Blanc & 1% Pinot Gris
