Bob Campbell MW (NZ) 92/100 – March 2021
Akarua's entry-level pinot noir has always offered excellent value. This vintage is no exception. Bright, fresh pinot noir with black cherry, violet and mixed spice flavours. Deliciously accessible.- More about James Suckling

Aromas of cherries, redcurrants, earth and roasted meat. Some dried flowers, too. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Juicy and fruity. Flavorful finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
