New Zealand White Wine - Huia 2000

During our trip to New Zealand in 2000 (one of our favourite trips of all time) we have the opportunity to be there while the Marlborough Wine festival was going on. what a discovery!! I truly recommend going if you happen to be in New Zealand in February
We try lots of wines and certainly we did like the whites more than the reds
One of our favourties was Huia (www.huia.net.nz) and we decided to bring home a number of bottles (which it did become an odessey on its own) of sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riestling, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay from 2000
Last week we finished our last bottle which we have kpet for a while. A wondeful, Fresh, Fruity but dry Sauvignon Blanc.
This was to maintain vivacious fruit aromatics and flavour of this variety.
This wine shows a good aromatic intensity, layered with flavours ranging from apple and pineapple on my opinion. Great on the back of your mouth Huia Sauvignon Blanc is delicious with seafood, salads with cheese and not very strong fish
