Bob Campbell 95 Points Oct 2021
Restrained voluptuousness with Black Doris plum, cassis, floral, violet and spice, thyme and anise flavours. Rich, smooth-textured wine that is a pleasure to taste. Gobs of fruit supported by enough acid and tannins to prevent any sense of cloying. A well-made wine that measures up to its predecessors.
James Suckling 93 Points Oct 2021
A pretty nose of cherries and cranberries with undertones of sweet spices and violets. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Silky texture with juicy and crunchy character. Pure and fresh with a succulent finish. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

Akarua Pinot Noir 2019
The 2019 Akarua Pinot Noir marks 20 vintages since our very first release from the 1999 season. A very special wine speaking of our beautiful Bannockburn vineyards on both Cairnmuir Road and Felton Terraces.
"It is gorgeously composed and styled, showing dark cherry, warm spice, dark mushroom, cedar and floral characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and concentration, combined with refined texture and silky tannins, leading to a wonderfully long delectable finish. At its best: now to 2029."
