Rua Pinot Noir 2024 (6 Bottles) Central Otago

by Hancocks 0 orders

$136.00

Rua Pinot Noir 2024 is crafted by Rua Wines in Central Otago, drawing on fruit from vineyards in Bannockburn and Pisa where schist-rich soils and a continental climate shape purity and balance. This is a supple and expressive Pinot Noir, opening with aromas of black cherry, raspberry and dark plum, layered with subtle spice, gentle floral notes and a touch of savoury earth. The palate is medium bodied and smooth, showing ripe red and dark fruit flavours framed by soft, silky tannins and bright acidity that bring natural flow and freshness. Oak influence is well judged and discreet, adding quiet structure without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is clean and poised, with a light mineral edge that reflects its Central Otago origins. Designed for approachability, Rua Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully on release and will continue to offer excellent enjoyment over the next three to five years.

The Hancocks name traces its origins back to 1859 when Thomas Hancock purchased the Captain Cook Inn in Khyber Pass Road Newmarket. Hancocks originally started life as a brewer and publican.

The company went through many changes in its first 100 years, including the manufacture and distribution of spirits. Over the course of years the company changed names several times with the core of the company being the basis of what we now know as Lion.
