About Akarua

Akarua grows its grapes in Central Otago, where a dry, continental climate with warm days and cold nights suits Pinot Noir. The Rua wines are the approachable, fruit-forward side of the range, while the estate wines show more structure and depth.

How to Enjoy Akarua

Serve the Pinot Noir at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius with duck, lamb, salmon or mushroom dishes. Chill the rose and Pinot Gris well and pair them with seafood, salads, chicken or mildly spiced Asian food.
