Huia

In the hectic “make ‘em, bottle ‘em, ‘open ‘em and drink ‘em” world of wine, it’s a pleasure to come across a producer whose wines demand some proper thought and contemplation.

We love everything about Huia, from the hand-made wines to the story behind them, to the brilliance of the winemaking. Established in 1996 after Claire and Mike Allan had done their time winemaking both in Champagne and elsewhere in Marlborough, Huia has quickly gone on to become synonymous with quality aromatic whites, Pinot Noir and sparkling wine from the Wairau Valley in Marlborough.

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.
