Remarkable in name and remarkable in nature. Hailing from the young, funky and cool region of Central Otago this Pinot Noir shows all the cherry richness we've come to expect.

Red fruit aromatics are underpinned by cherry and Christmas cake spice while the palate is well textured.

A Central Otago Pinot with earthiness and depth to wallow in.

Rapaura Springs have turned plenty of heads with their current releases - the Reserve Pinot Noir is little short of jaw dropping.

Drink it with five spice duck and rice.

'Making good use of the Gibbston, Lowburn and Bendigo sub-regions of Central Otago, this readily available, quality pinot noir is medium-bodied with rhubarb and cranberry fruit. These silky-on-palate fruit aspects are lifted with hints of graphite minerals.' - 92 Points, Courier Mail, Brisbane, 14 Sep 2013, by Alan Hunter.

Delve into layers of dense aromas of ripe cherry and plum, leading to intense berry flavours with spiced mocha warmth. Smooth, firm tannins provide length and poise.
