Huia seems to achieve flavour intensity through low cropping level and an ethereal texture from minimal skin contact. The result is a beguiling and subtly powerful wine that's just about as god as Marlborough pinot gris gets. Made in the style of the pinot grigio with an emphasis on fruit flavour and without the tannic structure that's a feature of many wines. Delicious now and very fresh. While the wine will probably offer good drinking for a few years, it's hard to imagine getting much better. BC
