A PURE REPRESENTATION

AROHA

Aroha is a romantic word in the Māori language of New Zealand meaning love. Reflective of its namesake, Aroha is handcrafted with passion from two unique parcels of Pinot Noir, including one of the legendary Abel clone.

The fruit is grown on a slope of an elevated terrace of fertile land at the Te Muna Road vineyard where an ancient dried river bed delivered nutrient-rich soil perfect for growing Pinot Noir.

TASTING NOTES

In the glass, this 100% Pinot Noir is bright burgundy with a light crimson hue. Ample perfume. A complex bouquet of glazed cherries, lavender and thyme. A fine-boned structure, red fruit dominated and was very focused and pretty. It’s an elegant Aroha release showing great approachability already.

Food Match – Seared duck breast, satueed mushroom risotto

RECOMMENDED CELLARING – 7 – 10 years from vintage
