Pinot Noir 2021: Expressive
An outstanding terroir
The Akarua vineyard is a unique site, measuring 52 hectares, 34.5 of which planted with vines. The estate is tucked into the foothills of the mountains rising above Kawarua River upstream of Lack Dunstan, in the midst of a breathtaking landscape. Located in Bannockburn in the Central Otago region, the vineyard occupies three west-facing terraces and enjoys intense sun all year round. This outstanding terroir lends remarkable character to the pinot noir in a reflection of the spectacular mountains surrounding the estate.
Akarua Pinot Noir is aged for eleven months in 27% French oak barriques. Floral and spicy, it has a nose of raspberries and blackcurrant, while the pallet derives of black cherry.
