The white wine Akitu Pinot Noir Blanc, vintage 2021 from the winery Akitu has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Central Otago in New Zealand.
An initial touch of pear drop soon dissipates to reveal ripe citrus zest and fresh red apple flesh along with creamy notions of yeast. This yeasty notion carries right onto the palate where it is subsumed into a lovely, rich texture that is packaged in a precise and taut body. This is an unusual Pinot but a compelling one, with a hint of spice and tons of freshness on the finish.
