Akitu

Akitu Pinot Noir Blanc 2019, Central Otago

A new release wine from the Akitu stable - a very engaging bouquet with a medley of mostly white fleshed fruit with whispers of some red. There’s also a list of non fruit aromas from flowers to river stones and a leesy spice, overall quite seductive. On the palate - very engaging with a steely, leesy texture, lots of crunch and bite then a core of fruit re-emerges leading through to a lengthy balanced finish. A well made and thoughtful expression. Drink now and through to end of Summer 2021.
