A white wine made from Pinot Noir – it is the only varietal that Akitu grow. A pale straw-copper colour in the glass, just a hint of coral pink. The bouquet shows peach, satsuma, almond, hay, cranberry, quince and herbal flavours of lime leaf and chamomile plus spicy cardamom and cinnamon. Very textural immediately on the palate, with a silken mouthfeel. Then acidity comes forward – swift and flowing, adding tension and zip – a compelling interplay between the two. A lengthy drying finish. 92pts
