Bright cherry colour in the glass. An abundance of bright red fruits, and lifted floral aromas, with a touch of savouriness. This Central Otago Pinot Noir is lavishly layered with sweet, ripe, red berries, underpinned with savoury characters and a touch of spice. Supple tannins flow softly across the palate. These are balanced by the wines acidity, leading to a long fruit driven finish. A style that has been deliberately made to drink as a young fresh red.

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

Awarded Gold Medal: China Wine & Spirit Awards 2019

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.

Alc: 13.5%
