Akarua Bannockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2021

The Akarua Vineyard is a unique site, measuring 52 hectares, 34.5 of which is planted with vines. The estate is tucked into the foothills of the mountains rising above the Kawarua River and is located in Bannockburn in New Zealands 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. Aged for eleven months in French oak barriques the Akarua Bannockburn Pinot Noir is floral and spicy, it has a nose of fresh raspberries and blackcurrant, with loads of black cherry on the palate.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
