HALITE

From my base in Martinborough, I make small-batch wines under Halite, one of Aotearoa’s tiniest producers, grounded in organics and a gentle, low-intervention approach. These are ‘salt of the earth’ wines; balanced, textured and full of life, but above all, simply delicious. I founded Halite in 2021 after starting a family and feeling the quiet pull back toward winemaking. Halite connects me to who I am. A space to create, to express, and to let instinct guide the process. For me, organics is more than a method. It’s a way of seeing the world, recognising the deep connections between the land, the people who care for it, and the generations to come. I work with growers who share that same respect, and together we craft wines that speak of place and purpose.

Haidee

Hi, I’m Haidee. Wine has always been a curiosity for me, quickly turning into a lifelong adventure of vintage hopping and tasting wines from around the world. Over the past 17 years, with a wine degree, being named North Island Young Winemaker in 2018, and a growing family, I’ve been continually learning, exploring, and discovering what makes each wine unique. Halite is my way of celebrating the delicate dance of life - its moments of joy, balance, and unpredictability. Through wines that are authentic, expressive, and alive, I hope to share a little of that wonder with you.
