Akarua Pinot Noir 2023
Central Otago, New Zealand
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
90/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
The previous vintages have always cleaned up at the award rounds and cement this classic wine's reputation as one of Central's most consistently awarded Pinot Noirs. The 2023 is yet another showstopper - loaded with dark berry fruits, classic Central Otago savoury characters and pillow soft tannins. Gorgeous wine.
The palate exhibits juicy red fruits, while on the palate toasty oak and spice characters give complexity and texture. Soft, light tannins compliment the classic Central Otago savoury characteristics, leading to a lengthy, full finish. A delightful expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir from this highly respected producer.
Vegetarian and Vegan friendly.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A bouquet and palate of ripe red berry fruit, dark cherry and Doris plums, there's a fine savoury dried herb quality layering in complexity, and breadth on the palate. Dry, taut, fruity, varietal and new with vibrant textures from tannins and acidity. Core red fruit flavours are persistent and the acidity carries a touch of saline effect adding to the juicy and fleshy finish."
The winery writes "Expressive and fragrant showing pretty florals, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, thyme, spice and charry oak. The palate is sweet on entry with dark cherry, doris plum, blackberry, red currant, mushroom and dark chocolate. Medium bodied, concentrated, finely balanced and very complex. Velvety silky fine tannin that leads into a very long mineral and plum finish."
