TASTING NOTES FOR Huia Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale lemon with bright green highlights. Fresh and vibrant in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and lifted, showing gooseberry, passionfruit and lime zest.
Layers of grapefruit, lemon curd and passionflower combine with subtle herbal notes and a fine mineral edge.

👅 Palate
Zesty and expressive, delivering grapefruit, green apple and citrus with a touch of tropical fruit.
A small portion of neutral oak fermentation adds texture and rounds out the palate, while bright acidity keeps everything fresh and focused.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Light to medium-bodied with a gently textural feel.
The finish is long and mouth-watering, with citrus, river stone minerality and a subtle cashew note adding complexity.

🍇 Overall Style
A refined Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—vibrant, aromatic and slightly more textural than the norm.
Combines classic tropical and citrus intensity with subtle oak influence and mineral finesse.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, prawns, scallops or fresh fish. Also excellent with goat’s cheese, salads and light Asian dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that delivers intensity, texture and real sophistication.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a step-up Sav Blanc that still delivers freshness but with added depth and class.
