Akarua wins THREE Golds at Air NZ Wine Awards

Akarua wins THREE Golds at Air NZ Wine Awards

A busy and exciting year has culminated with Akarua today being awarded THREE pure Gold Medals at the 2014 Air New Zealand Wine Awards.

The results of the awards were announced today to the public. Akarua received three PURE GOLDS: Akarua Pinot Noir 2013, Akarua RUA Pinot Noir 2013 and their Sparkling Akarua Vintage Brut 2010

Winemaker Matt Connell is delighted with the results.

"It is great for our team to be recognised at this prestigious show. It has been a particularly busy year for us with the purchase of two new vineyards and preparing for a much larger vintage because of this, so to win three gold medals is a fantastic achievement" he said.

"The Air New Zealand Wine Awards have such resonance with consumers and the profile of the awards is also recognised internationally, it's a great lead in to the Christmas season" he said.

Akarua's varietal focus is on their Pinot Noir's and Sparkling Wine programme. The Akarua Pinot Noir 2013, Akarua RUA Pinot Noir 2013 and Akarua Vintage Brut 2010 were awarded gold.

Matt is looking forward to celebrating the wins at the Awards dinner in Hawkes bay on the 22nd November

And these are three drops we’ll be enjoying as we head into the season of celebrating!

Akarua Vintage Brut: $45.00
Rua Pinot Noir: $28.50
Akarua Pinot Noir: $48.50
