Huia Marlborough Pinot Noir 2017

93 POINTS: Cam Douglas MS

Huia are a boutique Marlborough producer with a focus on creating organic, biodynamic wines and taking a natural approach to winemaking.

Their 2017 release is a study in elegant Marlborough Pinot Noir. A core of cherry and red fruit notes is supported by oak spice and delicate tannins, as a result of almost 2 years spent in oak. It's drinking well now but will unfold with a few years in the cellar.

"Myriad aromas of mineral and varietal fruit scents, there's a core of flowers and oak, soil and fruit, an integrated oak and savoury spice complexity then aromas of cherry and red apple, plum and red currant. Salivating and youthful on the palate with flavours of dried herb then red currant, fine oak spices then a savoury mineral quality. Fine tannins and decent acid line keep add texture and mouthfeel, but also a foundation of texture and structure. Well made, youthful still."
