Anna's Way Pinot Noir 2018

This Pinot Noir is made by gentle handling and traditional methods to promote the vibrant fruit characters that Marlborough is famous for.

The wine is sustainably produced and one hundred per cent organic.

The wine is a beautiful garnet red Pinot Noir that is delicious in taste, with impressive aromas of blackberries, red currants, herbs and a touch of toasted oak. The wine has nice deep flavours of sweet fruit and impressions of earthly complexity. It is silky smooth and supported by fine tannins.

The inspiration for this lively and wood-aged wine was the mother of winemaker Louis Vavasour, who says that she was “bold, stylish and visionary in nature”, just like this wine.

Winery

Anna’s Way is a collection of award-winning wines from the renowned winemaker Louis Vavasour. The wines are a tribute to his late mother Anna who pioneered in the Awatere Valley with her husband Peter. The letters AW on the label are the same as those in the wrought iron gates, which were designed by Anna Vavasour and form the entrance to the Awatere River Winery. This winery, with vineyards on the sunny shores of the Awatere Valley, in the Waimea plains and on the rugged slopes of Central Otago, is now owned by son Louis.
