Huia Vineyard wins best biodynamic winery award in New York

Marlborough organic winegrower Huia Vineyard has won a swath of international awards but the latest was the most surprising, owners Mike and Claire Allan said. The couple, who have used biodynamic winemaking principals since 1996, won the Natural/Biodynamic Winery of the Year at the New York International Wine Challenge among more than 1000 organic and conventional made wines entered from 30 countries. “We didn’t realise there was an award until we were called at home by our sales agent in Denver, ” Claire said.
