Akarua Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2017

Deep and bright ruby.

Multi-faceted nose of blood plums and red cherries; with star anise, nutmeg and cinnamon; and garrigue - brambles, wild thyme, heather, rosehip and crushed herbs. The palate structure is lithe; the acids are juicy yet taut, and the fine supple tannins lengthen the smoky mineral finish. The flavour spectrum finishes with earthy notes from the vineyards - schist gravels and river pebbles.

Akarua Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Rose NV

33% Pinot Noir, 67% Chardonnay

Akarua Brut NV is a fresh aperitif style with floral, savoury and bread dough aromas. The palate has a creamy middle and a long crisp brut finish.

From the Bannockburn sub-region, the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from several blocks on the vineyard are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. All batches are kept separate. Juices are settled and racked to yeast fermentation in old French oak barriques and stainless steel tanks.

Amisfield Pinot Noir 2016

Winemaking - Approximately 10% whole-bunch clusters were included in some of the ferments. After fermentation the wine is tasted daily to assess the tannin development and is left on the skins for extended time. Maturation for ten months in 20% tight-grain French oak.

Youthful aromatic expressions of sweet red cherries, mulberries and plums lead to a complex and lingering palate. The oak is light and subtle to complement the fine grained tannins and supple acidity.

Charteris Pinot Noir 2017

Central Otago pinot noir from various blocks of the Winter Vineyard. This wine is not to be confused with the specific Charteris The Winter Vineyard release.

It feels just a little more serious, a little more structured than previous releases. It’s still a ripper wine to drink. Neat, fresh, composed, varietal; all those good things. Forest berries, spice, cloves and a snapped-twig element. Juicy. It’s in a really good place. The wine’s smoky, foresty heart is most appealing. 92 Points … more

Prophets Rock Pinot Gris 2017

Producer Notes "The Pinot Gris comes from both our Bendigo and Rocky Point vineyards. Planting in these warmer areas of Central Otago and practising careful viticulture allow us to produce a very aromatic style of Pinot Gris, while retaining the trademark freshness of the region."

The vinification is heavily influenced by Paul's time in Alsace where use of wild yeast, multiple small vessels and long ageing are the norm. After long slow ferments the various components are aged on their … more
