Akarua Riesling

2015 Central Otago Riesling

The Akarua Akarua Riesling from the 2015 vintage showcases the vibrant character of Central Otago, renowned for its picturesque landscapes and exceptional winemaking. This white wine presents a delightful balance, with a medium body that supports its refreshing profile. The acidity is bright and lively, lending the wine a mouthwatering quality that enhances its food-friendly nature. Ripe fruit notes leap from the glass, offering an inviting aroma of stone fruit and citrus that dance on the palate. With a dry finish, this Riesling effectively balances sweetness and acidity, making it both enjoyable on its own and versatile for pairing with various dishes. A true representation of the region, the Akarua Akarua Riesling is a remarkable expression of this celebrated varietal.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
