Colliers is delighted to be exclusively appointed to market Akarua's 25 Steps Vineyard in Pisa, Central Otago with its unique blend of soils and aspects creating a truly special pinot noir wine.
Visiting this particular vineyard takes your breath way with the sheer drama of its terraced slope, panoramic mountain and lake views and the clever layout to make the most of the varied aspects and soils. 25 Steps is positioned on an ancient glacial slope, carved with 800 metre long terraces each step having two rows of vines, creating a rather dramatic effect on its landscape.
The aspects also account for all four points of the compass and each vine grows under varying conditions in elevation, soil, sun and wind exposure. This results in a wide range of tannins, acidity, colour intensity and flavour.
Planted in a mix of pinot noir clones from Pommard and Dijon over 9 hectares, this vineyard is a study in the "growing" of a complex wine.
Wine from this particular vineyard is specifically hand-harvested and produces a single vineyard wine which Akarua's viticulturist calls a "terroir field blend".
Key features of the 25 Steps Vineyard offering include:
• 17.1337 hectares in single freehold title
• Total area planted of 9.19 hectares
• SWINZ certified
• Own water bore
• Six pinot noir clones all on grafted rootstock
• Produces around 5.7 tonne per hectare and cropped specifically to its label
• 4 vintages produced 25 Steps Pinot Rose (500 cases each vintage)
• 2 vintages produced 25 Steps Pinot Noir (1000 cases in 2018 and 2019)
There is flexibility from Akarua to set aside fruit from the 2022 vintage for a potential purchaser.
