Akitu Pinot Noir BLANC 2023 750ml
Only
$44.00
"Brassy, rose-gold with a faint green hue and a platinum fleck, mica-like shimmer catches the eye.
Nose: Rose petals, Turkish delight, slight wild herbs, and a hint of sourdough. A risqué bouquet of rouge compact and red-hot lipstick entwined with ripe golden queen peaches and musk sticks. Evocative and multi-dimensional.
Palate: Dry and savoury but full of textural depth. The interplay between acid and phenolics leads to complex florals, particularly roses, but some cherry blossom adds sedimentary depth. Musk surfaces later, with a hint of cinnamon apricot kernel.
Finish: Long and dry with a distinctive crunch on the exit. It’s edgy yet resolved, exciting yet calm.
Food: It is simply delicious on its own. However, a winner when paired with a slab of Stewart Island Salmon, smoked on toast with a dab of caviar, perhaps kedgeree for the second course."
Alc 14.5%
