To celebrate the long-time partnership of Huia Vineyards and New Zealand fashion designer Kate Sylvester, we popped our first ever sparkling Rosé, the 2016 Limited Edition Estate Grown Sparkling Rosé Brut into a delicate modernist rose print from designer Kate Sylvester’s collection “Frances”.

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.
