Pretty and poised Pinot.

Classic cranberry and red current aromas giving us a wine with enough bite and texture to be foody but with enough generosity of fruit to be a delicious glass on its own. A touch of oak in the wine making lends a little soothing creaminess to the finish.

Finding decent Marlborough Sauvs is easy, but we pride ourselves in picking wines that have something different - this Huia Sauv is a good example.

Much more focussed on the lime characteristics than other Sauvignons, this is Intense and fruity with zesty, lip-tingling lime notes underlined with just a hint of tropical passion fruit. Bright and fresh - but rounded too.

Huia’s wines are all about passion; for the wine, for the environment and for blending traditional and modern techniques to express the richness of some of Marlborough’s classic grapes.

Wonderful dark cherry Pinot Noir with all the benefits of French Oak barrelling.

Bright cherry red colour, the cherries abundant on the nose making this a vibrant, lifted and engaging wine. Lively red currants and cherry fruit on the palate which linger on an exquisitie and silky finish.

Zephyr Wines is a family winery based in Dillon’s Point, Marlborough and was started by the Glover family in 1985 after being inspired by other mavericks in the region to convert their farm to vine. They've never looked back and Owen and Wendy Glover, along with son Ben, one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed and talented winemakers, now produce award-winning wines from what has become one of the most established single vineyards in the region.  The Gewurtzraminer and a Riesling follow suit in showcasing the more savoury and 'savage' style Zephyr has become renowned for. The critics are proving what we’ve known for a long time: that the Glover’s are styling something special out of Marlborough vines that no-one else has.

An organic Pinot Noir grown with environmentally and sustainable practices at the heart of the winery.

This is a, rich wine. Crisp edges of acid and soft tannins frame black cherry and espresso notes on the midpalate, while the finish is broad and supple in texture. A beautifully balanced Pinot Noir

A dry but powerful Gewurztraminer with spicy, rose petal and mango notes on the nose. Full-bodied and rich on the palate with notes of ginger, orange and vanilla balanced by fresh, mouth-watering acidity.

Grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, before undergoing a combination of indigenous and inoculated yeast fermentation, giving it more complexity. Five percent of the wine was fermented in old French oak, bringing in an extra layer of richness and creaminess. The rest fermented in stainless steel.

The nose is aromatic, full of floral and citrus notes. On the palate the wine shows jasmine and honeysuckle alongside lemon and lime citrus. This Huia Riesling shows good length and ends on a refreshing vibrant mineral finish. Slightly off dry.

Grapes: Riesling

The grapes were hand harvested at optimum ripeness on the 7th of April. These were de-stemmed and crushed to the press. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks using organic yeasts which carried out a long and cool ferment, retaining the vibrant fruit characters.

Produced from low yields of optimally ripened, high quality, flavourful grapes: fully expressive of the free draining, low-fertility, glacially formed soils.
Extended “hang time” and picking the grapes where possible with a small proportion of noble botrytis results in a bouquet packed full of citrus, particularly orange zest that so defines North Canterbury Rieslings. Hints of stone-fruit, lychees, pineapple and tropical spices makes for a satisfyingly concentrated wine, which is off-set by a core of minerality and tangy acidity.
