Akarua Alchemy Ice 2017 Central Otago

Akarua Alchemy Ice 2017 Central Otago

THIS YEAR’S TOP New Zealand sweet wine pays homage to the noble varietals of riesling and gewürztraminer. It champions all that we love in ice wine styles; pure richness and opulence. Whether you subscribe to the theories of alchemy or not, this wine certainly lives up to its name, defining its own shapes and bounds. Concentrated aromatic notes of turkish delight are suspended in a rich, golden hue with a powerful palate that is intensely sweet, focused and balanced, beautifully showcasing the blend of riesling and gewürztraminer.

MATURITY & REFINEMENT Hailing from the most southern wine growing region in the world, Akarua in Bannockburn, Central Otago has been on a determined journey to create exciting wines that genuinely reflect the edginess of the region and the specificity of their land. The last decade of dedicated intelligence, investment and evolution has seen the wines from this Skeggs family-owned wine company grow stylistically in maturity and refinement.
