The complexity in Akarua estate Pinot Noir comes from the vineyard. Each parcel is kept separate for fermentation and ageing and then all the barrels are tasted and assesed to create the final blend.

Bright and perfumed aromatics. A plush and red-fruited palate. Soft, approachable fine-grained tannin. A hint of spice adds complexity. A precise acid back-bone gives good length.

Rounded, ripe plum and spicy oak play a warming role against balanced acidity and fine tannins.
