akitu A1: Bracing freshness with a lovely savoury glint, nothing is overdone here.

Anne Krebiehl, MW

How sensual and seductive and intoxicatingly aromatic this akitu A2 is, will have you weak at the knees and struggling to form a sentence with every sip.

Yvonne Lorkin, Winefriend, New Zealand

Of all the places that Pinot noir is grown and made in the New World, none has lit the sky as brightly as Central Otago in the last decade.

Nick Stock, Wine Writer, Australia

You can feel the terroir as much as taste it.

akitu pinot noir

All we planted in our single 12ha vineyard was Pinot noir, here we obsessively try to make the absolutely best wine we can from each season's weather package.  Our wines are called akitu A1, akitu A2 and akitu Pinot Noir Blanc. We make wine for our friends and for their friends.  Enjoy.

People & Place

In 1959 Andrew Donaldson's grandfather bought a house in the stunning but then remote location of Lake Wanaka, Central Otago.  Serendipity and some decades later this wonderous and challenging area is now one of the world's most exciting places to make Pinot noir, Andrew’s favourite varietal.  Vine and man love growing here.
