ABOUT HUNTRESS (FROM JANNINE)
Guided by the Māori principle of Kaitiakitanga, each bottle of Huntress Wine represent how we nurture both the land (whenua) and family (whānau) with unwavering aroha (love). This guardianship ensures a sustainable future for all, echoing through the generations. Every bottle of Huntress wine is a testament to this commitment, a harmonious blend of terroir and tradition that echo’s land's vitality and my personal devotion.

STYLE

A perfumed nose of florals, citrus, wild fennel and honeydew in a beech forest during summer. The palate
is driven by refreshing citrus fruits, lime and ripe pink grapefruit it has a very textured pithy finish.
