"Intense, fruit-bomb style Pinot Noir with red-fleshed plum, dark cherry, spice, thyme, liquorice, and spicy oak flavours. An almost luscious wine with an opulent, silken texture that carries a little alcohol heat on the finish. Very expressive now but will age well" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Feb 2020
Heady multi-layered perfume of bush roses, cardamom and vanilla with raspberries, mulberries and deep notes of leather and cigars. The palate is dense and concentrated, yet with a fine, silken line of minerals and structural acidity carrying the complex flavours. Delicious and satisfying with an interplay of sweet andsavoury character. Cellar 8 - 10 years.
A selection of Akaruas best barrels of the best vintages of pinot noir, from their home block on Cairnmuir Road, Central Otago. 10% whole cluster ferment. 60% indigenous yeast ferment. 18 months in French oak. 33% new barriques.
