Akitu, Pinot Noir, Central Otago

Colour: Red
Vintage: 2013
Region: Central Otago

Some wines just do everything right - taste great right from the start and can age; speak true to both their grape variety and place of origin; are great with food or their own, and look as good on the table as they taste in the glass. Akitu A1 is exactly that - an A1 example of great, elegant winemaking. Akitu is the wine of Hawkesbury Estates Limited. The estate was established in 1959 when the current owner, Andrew Donaldson's grandfather bought a property on Laka Wanaka in Central Otago, a stunning but very remote location. They are still a family owned vineyard and exclusively produce Pinot Noir. Today the estate is one of the most exciting and challenging places to grow Pinot Noir. They have a variety of clones in their exceptional plot on the Upper Clutha basin of Central Otago. In 2002/2003 they planted a 12 hectare vineyard which produces around 60 tonnes of fruit for each vintage, the very best of which goes to make Akitu.

Tasting Notes and Scores

98-99 JS

A significant pinot noir that displays immense quality, depth and completeness tasted ahead of bottling. Very complex indeed with exotic spices, meaty charcuterie and game meats. A fabulous array of different cherry fruit characters, hints of citrus zest and saffron plus some foresty bracken to add. The palate has immense energy and depth yet treads lightly on balanced structure and even shape, the tannins wind out and around supple flesh, gathering together and fanning at the finish, the acidity is bright throughout and the finish holds long. A masterpiece. Commanding and seductive pinot noir at its finest. Drink in 2019.
