The Haha brand has is one of the success stories of the New Zealand wine industry especially considering it is a ‘virtual winery’. Starting at the end of 2011 with the release of a 2011 Sauvignon Blanc and 2010 Pinot Noir made from Marlborough fruit selected by John Belsham, the range has grown enormously to encompass a broad range of varieties, from different regions, and the involvement of different winemakers. The wines offer very good value, and have found a strong demand in export and overseas distribution. New to the Haha range is a Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2018, made by Ant Mackenzie.
