More about this giftbox:

Akarua Vintage Brut 2016
“A blend of pinot noir and chardonnay that spent more than three years in the bottle on yeast lees. Seamless wine with an attractive bready, brioche aroma and flavours suggesting baguette crust and grapefruit. A mellow, silken-textured wine with a hint of sweetness on the finish”.
93 points, Bob Campbell MW

Akarua Rosé Brut NV
“A really lovely bouquet of lite red berry fruits with cherry and strawberry then a leesy bready autolysis and soft toasty core. Dry, full-bodied, crisp and dry with flavours that reflect the nose. Firm youthful mousse with a satin texture carrying the flavours with a refreshing finish. Well made and ready with best drinking from today and through 2028+.”
94 points, MS Cameron Douglas

Akarua Brut NV
“Pinot-dominant example from Central Otago sparkling stalwarts Akarua with white peach and grapefruit pith notes on the nose. A lovely, creamy mousse in the mouth with toast and honey-like complexity that gives this wine an X-factor, finishing with length that goes on and on.”
