Salt of the Earth
Halite, better known as rock salt, is the inspiration behind my wines: honest, grounded, and full of character.
Through Halite Wines, I explore a ‘salt of the earth’ approach to winemaking, working with organic growers and allowing each wine to find its own natural rhythm. Patience, intuition, and time guide the process.
The Light Dry range marks the beginning. Wines crafted with intent and energy, delivering flavour that’s both bright and deeply satisfying.
2024 Light Dry White
A blanc de noir from organic Pinot Noir grown on the terraces of the Ruamahanga River in Martinborough. Flavours of mandarin, apple and savoury tones. This wine is energetic with a fruit purity framed on chalky phenolics and linear minerality
2025 Light Dry Red
A wine made for both lightness and depth. The 2025 LDR is equal parts Pinot Noir from Martinborough and Sangiovese from the Mangatahi Terraces. Red fruits, earthy, floral. Bright, fresh and spirited with plenty of interest. Looks great chilled.
