Akarua 'Rua' Central Otago Pinot Noir 2018 Magnum 1.5L

Description

Beautiful red tones of raspberry and black cherry in the glass. This wine boasts an exquisite, lifted nose of strawberries, raspberries and violets on opening, followed by darker notes of black cherry, roasted star anise and cinnamon. Elegantly structured palate, layered with earth and brambles within a picture frame of finely-drawn tannins and bright acidity. A perfect and accessible snapshot of Central Otago.

Sourced from Central Otago vineyards with grapes harvested in their optimal condition. The grapes were transported to the winery and fermented in 100 per cent stainless steel tanks to ensure the fresh fruit flavours were preserved.  The resulting wine is bursting with pure flavours of poached pear, and honeyed quince with a hint of spice leading to a lingering succulent finish. Pleasing to the palate now and will also remain in its prime for the next 2-3 years.
