The 2016 vintage of Haha Sauvignon Blanc is the sixth release of a remarkably successful wine from an ingeniously run brand that is based on the virtual winery model. Ashton Ireland with the winemaking assistance of the very experienced John Belsham have been offering quality wine at value pricing. However, they have not stood still, and have added new varietals to the foundation of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from Marlborough, with wines coming from other regions. With the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc, they’ve subtly increased the sophistication of the wine style with some barrel-fermentation. www.hahawine.co.nz
