Rua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Cherry, Oak, Vanilla

"There’s no mistaking the signature of the variety and place of origin for the wine, scents of ripe dark cherry flesh, a fine savoury quality and shattered stone earth suggestions. Youthful with a tautness as the wine touches the palate, tannins have a energised grip and acidity adds crunch and freshness. Core flavours reflect the bouquet with layers of lees and red berries, vanilla and baking spices of oak. Plush and fresh with good drinking today, best drinking from late 2025 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Aug 2023

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.
