In 2016 we commemorated 20 years of Marlborough's Huia Vineyards by working with celebrated New Zealand photographer Dr Fiona Pardington (Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Mamoe and Ngāti Kahungunu), Chevalier de l'Ordre Française des Arts et des Lettres, as she created an original work of a pair of Huia, an extinct native bird of Aotearoa New Zealand, to be used on limited edition magnums of Huia Millennial Brut 2000.

It was seven years ago that iconic New Zealand fashion house Kate Sylvester started pouring our organic wines crafted by Huia for their guests. Designer Kate sat down with Winemaker Claire over a glass or two at Seabreeze Café, Kate’s local, to talk about why their brands are working together and how this relationship came about.
