"Huia has never been one to make stereotypical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is no different. Under new ownership but with the winemaking remaining in the hands of former co-owner Clare Allen, the 2023 is a quiet, elegant, aromatically delicate expression. A little more than light in body, it has a rich, succulent and rounded texture, no doubt a combination of the organic vineyards, wild fermentation and use of barrel. Flavors of honeysuckle, ripe apple and lightly toasted hazelnuts linger on the mouthwatering finish."

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is expansive and succulent while exuding a sense of calm. It's pure and finely handled with a balanced line of acidity that provides refreshment but no hardness. Gooseberry and restrained tropical fruit characters provide a fragrant finish. Attractive and approachable, there's no need to wait to drink this."

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is juicy, uncomplicated and tropical, with lashings of fresh fruit flavors underpinned by crunchy acidity. Everything is in place here. This is quite delicious. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"Relatively more subdued fruit power considering the grape and region. Reasonably soft acid on the palate, giving this a more drinkable and more endurable style than the onslaught of citrus that can come from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. That also allows space for a bit of mineral complexity too. Has the all-important drinkability factor. (RH) 13.5%"
