Rua was formerly part of Akarua, formed by Sir Clifford and Lady Mary Skeggs back in 1995 but more recently sold to iconic French wine producer Edmond de Rothschild Heritage. The Skeggs family still own and operate 90 hectares of established vineyards in the Pisa and Bannockburn sub regions of Otago and have kept the iconic Rua label under its new Mora brand.

Rua Central Otago Pinot Noir is always one of our biggest selling and much loved wines. The 2022 vintage sees the good form continue. The wine making team for Rua have been well recognised for the ability to make impressive Pinot Noir and at this price point you would do well to find better. Reliable and just plain delicious!


Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"This Central Otago Pinot Noir is lavishly layered with sweet, ripe, red berries, underpinned with savoury characters and a touch of spice. Supple tannins flow softly across the palate. These are balanced by the wines acidity, leading to a long fruit driven finish."


Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"There’s no mistaking the bouquet form this wine – filled with scents of black cherry and raspberry, some quiet savoury thyme notes and soft fragrances of vanilla and clove. Youthful, varietal, fresh and new. Flavours on the palate mirror the bouquet with black cherry and raspberry flesh flavours, some fresh English tea and freshly tilled soil notes. Oka nad tannins and lively yet not overdone, acidity delivers backbone and freshness. Overall a lovely wine and ready to drink from late 2023 through 2028."

95/100 NWWA, Judges Comments (2021 Vintage)
"RUA from Akarua in Central Otago is a stunning wine that delivers fun in a serious way. Sourced from vineyards in Bannockburn and Pisa, this Pinot Noir is perfumed and seductive with black cherry and plum fruit complementing a plush palate that is juicy and approachable. Brilliant with lamb shank slow cooked in RUA Pinot Noir served with kumara and parsnip."


4 Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"Full of drink-young charm, yet also a wine of substance, the exuberantly fruity 2021 vintage was grown at Bannockburn and Pisa, and matured in old, 'neutral' oak barrels. Deep, bright ruby, it is fragrant, with strong, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours and supple tannins."


5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2021 (2020 Vintage)
"Fabulously fruited and sweetly aromatic, the bouquet shows dark plum, ripe cherry, floral and subtle spice characters, leading to a beautifully rounded palate offering succulent fruit flavours together with fine texture and silky tannins, making it instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2025."
