The Haha brand is one of the success stories of the New Zealand wine industry employing the virtual winery model. From beginnings with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from the 2011 and 2010 vintages respectively, Haha now has sparkling, Pinot Gris Chardonnay and Merlot, and draws fruit from Hawke’s Bay as well as Marlborough. The wines are made under contract to specifications set by John Belsham, and they are marketed vigorously by Ashton Ireland. Haha now introduces their first rosé wine. It is Merlot-based and from Hawke’s Bay. www.hahawine.com
