Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"This sparkling wine was made in the Traditional Method. The fruit was hand harvest and whole bunch pressed before being racked into neutral French Oak barrels for ferment. After ferment the wine rested in cuve for 11 months. It was then bottled for tirage and left to age on lees for 4 years. The bottles were hand riddled over a 4-week period before being disgorged.
Aromas of brioche. Peach. Crème anglaise. Golden grapefruit. Toasted hazelnut. Yellow flowers Tastes of nectarine and white peach. Marzipan. Pecan pie. Crusty bread. Truffle. Fresh lemon. Rich with bright acidity and a long complex finish."

Joelle Thomson, drinksbiz Magazine, December 2023/January 2024 (2018 Vintage)
"Certified organic sparkling wine is something of a rarity in most parts of the world and this wine delivers big time on its ethical values and creamy smooth flavours. Huia founders and former owners, Claire and Mike Allen, were among the earliest sparkling winemakers in Marlborough and devoted many years to perfecting their formula."
95/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2017 Vintage)
"Seductively complex with aromas of honeysuckle and developed autolysis, white strawberry and apple, some stone fruit moments and mild toasty core. Delicious on the palate with flavours that reflect the nose plus peach and sweet grapefruit, lemon pith and mineral. An elegant mousse, sweet acidity and long finish. Delicious!"
