Picking the Merlot and Malbec off twenty year old vines completed the 2010 harvest for Huia. The German backpackers rued their tall genes and headed off for some lumbar spine treatment at the nearest Bungee Jump station. More fun than a chiropractor it seems.
Vintage 2010 has been one of the very best in Marlborough. The weather has been settled, cool nights …
