Halite Ruby 'Light Red' 2025

NZD$42.00

(No reviews yet)

On the nose, Campari-like notes of cherry, ruby grapefruit, blood orange and clove. The palate bursts with bitter orange, tart morello cherry and salivating acidity, finishing chalky and dry.

Unfined. Unfiltered. Vegan friendly. May throw a harmless deposit in bottle.

Based out of Martinborough, Halite is one of Aotearoa's smallest wine producers with a focus on organics and low intervention winemaking. These are 'salt of the earth' wines. They are framed on balance, texture, and liveliness but are most importantly yum.

Halite was established by winemaker Haidee and her partner, Ben in 2021. They had recently started a family and while enjoying motherhood, Haidee was feeling the pull back into winemaking. For Haidee, Halite forms an important connection to her identity and an outlet for creative expression.

Organics are not just about farming, it is a holistic outlook which acknowledges environmental symbiotic relationships, considerations for future generations and the community that surrounds us. With this in mind, Haidee and Ben work with grape growers who farm organically and it underpins every step of their process.
