Winery
Huia is a Marlborough-based producer known for organic practices and small-batch winemaking. Founded in 1994 and now led by Tom Pegler, the winery focuses on minimal intervention and wines that reflect both place and season.
Named after the native Huia bird, a revered Māori symbol of honour and connection, the winerys approach centres on balance, respect and craftsmanship.
Vintage amp Vineyard
The 2024 growing season began with a cool flowering period, resulting in naturally low yields and concentrated fruit. This was followed by a long, warm summer with minimal rainfall, allowing for optimal ripening and excellent fruit quality.
The fruit was sourced from well-established vines in Grovetown, located in the Lower Wairau Valley.
