"Waikura locally refers to the pink hue in the sky at dawn & dusk. Also watery red. This was one of the first wines made by Huntress and is all about bright colour, bright energy. It is dry, high energy and salivating in style. Chill and enjoy with a platter of cured meats & cheeses."

"‘Waikura’ is a reference to the crimson-red glow in the sky in sunrise and sunset in Te Reo Māori, and as soon as you pour this into your glass you’ll see how the colour is deep and glowing. Crafted using Abel clone fruit which has been soaked on its skins before undergoing a wild fermentation, it’s created a spicy, juicy, redcurrant and cranberry-crammed wine that’s got interest and vibrancy. Made by winemaker Jannine Rickards, it’s one of the most exciting rosés I’ve tasted in ages. Prawn Cocktail? Perfect!"
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2032 (2023 Vintage)
"Hues of reds and pinks lead to a bouquet and palate of tension and poise, fine tannins and plenty of acidity. Flavours of red berries from raspberry to baked strawberry add plushness to the textures and mouthfeel. Additional flavours of dark rose and spice, there’s a natural lees complexity and mineral intensity. Well made, fresh and lively with textures throughout. Best drinking from day of purchase through end of summer 2026."
