The 2007 Pinot Noir was sourced from three Pinot Noir vineyards. The soil types vary from Rapaura riverstone to the clay loam of the upper Brancott valley. The effects of the climatic differences within the Wairau Valley also add to the complexity of flavours found within the grapes. Classical blends of six Pinot Noir cultivars each impart their unique flavours to the wine.

Spring was beautiful and sunny with plenty of seasonal winds. Strong Southerly storms dropped snow in the surrounding hills in November and December, causing some crop reduction in the Pinot Noir. The summer was warm throughout February and March. The grapes flavour development was long, leisurely and very intense. Ripe clusters were hand picked and traditional fermentation techniques followed by maturation for 10 months in French oak.

This wine shows an intense bouquet of dark cherry, black berry and violets. On the palate these characters meld with hints of smoke, savoury and spicy notes alongside rich berry and dark cherry flavours. French oak and silky grape tannins are well integrated and the wine has great palate length and balance.

Huia Pinot Noir is delicious with: grilled teriyaki salmon, rabbit stews, spicy lamb shanks, rare beef, BBQ venison steaks, pork roast and figs, wild mushroom risotto, smoked cheddar, matured soft cheeses.
