 Akarua’s
vineyards are located in the Bannockburn Heights area of Central Otago, where
owner Sir Clifford Skeggs was one of the first to commit to this region on
a large scale. He planted 50 acres of vines in 1996, realizing the
potential Central Otago had for making fabulous Pinot Noir. New Zealand’s
highly regarded food and wine magazine Cuisine, ranked both of Akarua’s
2002 Pinot Noirs as the top two Pinot Noirs produced in the country, giving
them both five stars. Akarua’s Pinot Noirs are sealed under Stelvin
screwcaps to insure the freshest, most flavorful wine while completely eliminating
cork taint.
