Akitu Pinot Noir Blanc, 6x75cl

🇳🇿 Akitu, Pinot Noir Blanc
Country: New Zealand | Region: Central Otago
Grapes: Pinot Noir (Blanc de Noirs)
Style: White Wine

🍇 Silky, Savoury, and Strikingly Textural
A white made from Pinot Noir that marries finesse with depth—supple texture, umami intrigue, and luminous fruit in perfect balance.

🍷 In the Glass
Pale straw, bright and crystalline.

👃 On the Nose
Delicate white peach and spiced apple, with hints of anise and rose petal over a subtle mineral hum.

🍷 On the Palate
Silky yet structured: powerful stone fruit and spicy apple glide on fine, powdery tannins with a chalky line of persistence. A gently zippy, almost umami character frames a plush core of Rainier cherries, finishing long, poised, and horizon-reaching.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Superb with sashimi or lightly seared tuna, scallops with brown butter, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, or creamy herb sauces.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Drink now for vibrancy or cellar 3–5 years as texture deepens and savoury nuance unfolds.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
A sunset-in-a-glass Pinot Noir Blanc—silken, savoury, and endlessly persistent, blending elegance with a compelling, chalk-etched finish.
