Arkana Nota Pinot Noir Rakia Notus, the Greek god of the south wind and summer, was both revered and feared for the storms he brought.
In Arkana Nota, they sought to capture the refined and noble essence of this variety: delicate red berry aromas beautifully complemented by subtle honey and vanilla notes, gracefully enhanced through partial aging in oak barrels.
