Akarua Rose Brut NV
The Skeggs family were among the first people to buy and plant vineyard land in Central Otago in the mid 1990s, and were lucky enough to acquire a superb north facing site in Bannockburn. Sustainability in the vineyard and winery is integral to the Akarua ethos; water conservation, recycling, the use of lightweight bottles, fully insulated barrel rooms and energy efficient lighting in the winery, are a few of the initiatives taken by Akarua to guarantee their accredited status as a sustainable producer. Tony Jordan, who built Domaine Chandon in Australia, and is one of the world's leading experts in sparkling wine production, has been enamoured with the potential for Central Otago to make top quality fizz for quite a while, and is now doing so with Akarua.
Chateau d'Esclans Rock Angel Provence Rose 2024
Chateau d'Esclans is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort, twenty five kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus on the Mediterranean coast. Rock Angel is an iconic Provençal rose from the Chateau d'Esclans. Pushing the envelope of Provence Roses, this combination of Grenache and Cinsault with some Syrah and Rolle (AKA Vermentino) hails from the best vineyard areas of La Motte en Provence. This rose is more than just a superb aperitif, it is also a fine wine with exceptional versatility that can successfully pair with a broad range of fine cuisines. If you serve it, they will come!
