Akarua Cadence Pinot Noir 2006
Cadence Pinot Noir, in its youth, shows chocolaty, mocha tones which are mingled with subtle oak and earthiness. With time the fruit tones open up to showcase cassis, red currants and Doris plums. To fully appreciate this wine when young it is best to decanter and serve at room temperature. The palate is well balanced with good acidity and tannins that linger. Our Cadence has an inviting mid palate which is matched by its great length and complexity.
Akarua Cadence Pinot Noir 2007
The 2007 Cadence has complex notes of plum, bramble and spice. The palate is rich with layers of dark berry fruits supported by ripe tannins, integrated oak and a long spicy finish. Akarua Cadence has an inviting mid palate which is matched by its great length and complexity.
Bald Hills Pinot Noir 2007
Enticing ruby colour with purple/violet tinge at the rim, the development of a “star anise” spiciness and a familiar scent of violets as the wine unfolds. Drinking well now but has cellaring potential for at least 10 year

Coney Pizzicato Pinot Noir 2007
2007 Coney Pizzicato Pinot Noir has a medium vibrant colour with crimson hues. Subtle cherries and spice are the dominant fruit notes, with a savoury and fragrant nose.

Rockburn Pinot Noir 2003
The 2003 Rockburn Pinot Noir is deep garnet in colour and has a lovely nose dominated by spices and violets. The palate is full of rich, yet subtle black berry fruits with layers of complexity enhanced by fine tannins. The wine displays an elegance and power which lingers long after the last mouthful.
Rockburn Pinot Noir 2007
The 2007 vintage delivered us small, intensely flavoured berries, and we have simply guided this fruit gently through to the bottle with minimal handling. Our “hands-off” approach delivers a pure expression of Central Otago to your glass; rich, intense fruits, delicate floral tones enhanced by nuances of wild thyme, and creamy, silky tannins leading into a long mocha finish. As always this wine shows classic Rockburn elegance, integrity and balance. Enjoy with friends over the next 6-8 years.
