Rapaura Springs Rohe Awatere Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Offering gorgeous fruit purity as well as elegant complexity, the wine shows sweet cherry, floral, olive and subtle spice aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate delivering refined texture and rounded mouthfeel. Silky, flowing and lingering with poise and sophistication. At its best: now to 2029. Score – 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, June 2022)
