SunLive Competition

Tony Lawrence from Aurum winery, a boutique family wine estate in Central Otago is excited about the 2009 Aurum Pinot Noir, and rightly so.  Let’s face it, we know Central Otago has a reputation for producing superb Pinot Noir and this wine certainly hits the jackpot. By Claire Rogers.

”It was a difficult season with low cropping,” says Tony.

However he describes the resulting wine as ‘the best ever’.

It has a concentrated sweet berry fruit nose with integrated oak. The palate is very spicy with intense blackcurrant and boysenberry flavours, with velvety fine tannins and a long, generous finish.

Karo at Gambino’s on Grey Street has one all ready for you. Enjoy.

Entrants must be aged 18 years or over.
