Description

La Sirène is a wine for collectors, for hedonists, for life's most important moments. A selection of our best barrels from the best vintages of pinot noir, from our 'home block' on Cairnmuir Road.

In Maori, the name 'Akarua' means two grape varieties. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the two varieties first planted on the estate in 1996 by Sir Clifford Skeggs. They now represent 78.5% and 2% of the plots respectively, with a small amount of Pinot Gris and Riesling completing the offer. Drawing on the know-how of the local teams and its international winemaking expertise, Edmond de Rothschild Heritage's ambition is to maximise Akarua's exceptional potential to produce the country's finest pinot noir from a single estate, to create elegant wines and exceptional vintages and to become the New Zealand benchmark for the national and international markets.


Tasting

Eye: A superb, luminous ruby

Nose: The nose reveals notes of burnt wood, caramelised black plum and dried meat.

Palate: Rich notes of blackcurrant and blackberry are accompanied by hints of vanilla and aniseed. The silky tannins give the palate a lovely texture and roundness. Balanced acidity and the spicy notes of Sichuan pepper and fennel seeds give the wine a long, persistent finish.

Degree: 13.5%°
Contains sulfites
