Hãhã Wine

Hãhã is our toast to the full-flavoured goodness of Aotearoa, New Zealand. As we reach the top, we discover something new and exciting, reflect on the journey, savour the prize. Hãhã in Maori means savoury and luscious, attributes clearly reflected in our wines. While selecting our wines we look for quality drinking and value for money. We strip out pretension, stuffiness, overinflated ego – what’s left is top-quality fine wine that’s easy on the pocket and a joy to drink.

Taste the terroir

It begins with the earth. Terroir dictates the flavour in the glass: soil-type, climate and landscape all working together to create a unique base from which each varietal takes its signature characteristics. Our selection of Hãhã wines are sourced from the Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay regions of New Zealand, but our selectors keep an open mind. Our field of vision is broad and we don’t narrow our horizon, which means we can select from any region in the country – as long as the drinking’s right. Hãhã presents a stunning sauvignon blanc, a delicious pinot noir, and a charming chardonnay, all signature Marlborough wines and excellent examples of their type exhibiting the distinctive notes the varietal is famous for. We recently added a zesty pinot gris, and a succulent merlot from sunny Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s second biggest wine region, which has been producing fine wine since 1851.

Selected with confidence

At the heart of Hãhã, our wine panel taste and select the very best wine in New Zealand.

Hãhã wines are hand selected for exceptional value. We understand that being passionate about wine doesn’t come hand in hand with expensive tastes. We believe that wine lovers should have their desires satisfied in a way that’s also affordable. Wine tasting looks at clarity, varietal character, integration, expressiveness, complexity and connectedness – but you don’t need to worry about all that because that’s our job.Simply speaking, wine tasting is about five things: what you see, swirl, sniff, sip and savour. At Hãhã we concentrate our efforts on the first four so you can savour each glass.

Hãhã is a happy contradiction. Fun and friendly on one hand, and, on the other, seriously passionate about good wine.

Tasting Notes.

Soft golden colour with light green hues. Intensely aromatic with a blend of passionfruit, gooseberries and lime zest on the nose. A burst of concentrated passionfruit and gooseberry flavours leads to superb fruit richness and a long textured mouth feel with a clean limey dry finish.omatic with a blend of passion fruit, gooseberries and lime zest on the nose. This wine is delicious as a starter, with long seafood lunches or chicken dinners, and beautifully compliments Asian cuisine.
