Huia Chardonnay

Subtly oaked and completely delicious Chardonnay

The organic and biodynamic wines from the New Zealand based Huia Vineyards are great examples that reflect the richness of the vines cultivated in the Marlborough region. This wine label was established in 1996 and has been following sustainable farming and winemaking techniques since then.

You will not see any pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides being used in the vineyards to retain the natural flavours of the fruits. Wild yeasts are used for the fermentation process and sustainability is always given 100% importance. As part of their sustainable winegrowing initiatives, Huia Vineyards set up the Mana Winegrowers Collective, which consists of a group of organic wine growers.

Huia Chardonnay is a premium white wine produced in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. This exquisite wine boasts a beautifully balanced blend of citrus, melon and peach flavours, with subtle hints of oak and vanilla. Crisp acidity and a smooth mouthfeel create a refreshing finish that makes this wine a perfect complement to a variety of dishes.

The grapes used to craft this wine are sustainably and organically farmed, adding to its unique character and depth. This wine is best enjoyed young and fresh, though it can also be aged for several years to enhance its complexity. With vibrant aromas and a rich taste, Huia Chardonnay is a true delight for any wine lover.

The Grape - Chardonnay

The Grape - Chardonnay

The world's most planted white grape variety, Chardonnay is prized for its ability to produce outstanding-quality wines in cool, moderate and warm climates. It is most often used as a single variety in still wines but is equally successful when used in sparkling.

The flavours of Chardonnay are many and varied; they're very much affected by where the grapes are grown, the winemaking process and maturation. 

In cool-climates, such as northern France and England, you would expect flavours of orchard fruits like apples and pears, citrus and wet stones. However, in warm-climates (California, Australia) you'd get peachy flavours, tropical fruits, and sometimes even banana. 

It is common to taste other flavours in Chardonnay, for instance fermenting or ageing in oak gives the wine flavours of vanilla, smoke and toast; the process of malolactic conversion can add creamy, buttery flavours; lees ageing adds body as well as biscuit notes.
