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.
Domaine Yves Leccia, d'E Croce Patrimonio Cuvée Ose Rosé 2020
Over the last 20 years Yves has crafted a range of thrilling single vineyard wines in the schist clay limestone terroirs of Patrimonio and the results are quite extraordinary. The team does not use any oak in the cellar, but these are serious wines, loaded with terroir-driven character and all fully certified organic. "80% Niellucciu, 20% Grenache Planted in 1999, Clay, Limestone, Schist, 4.6 ha Sweeter, fruitier nose than YL, peaches are now ripe! Rose petals, lemon sherbert The refreshing salinity is still there but balanced by galia melon and honeysuckle sweetness, a lick of orange peel tannins and orange bitters. Stricter than some rosé but enough ripeness - no traces of bubblegum of confection" Tom Harrow
