Rua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024 $28

Prepare for the subtle scent of baked cherries and the aroma of thyme, rubbed between your palms. The scent of wild rhubarb, baking spices and raspberry. They merge into a flavour spectrum of redcurrant, black tea, and exotic spices, with textures that are fleshy and lithe, and a finish that is long and soothing. It’s easy to see how it won a gold medal at the National Wine Awards of Aotearoa 2025. Produced by the Skeggs family, who own over 90 hectares of vineyards in Pisa and Bannockburn, this new vintage of Rua is rockin.
