Central Otago Pinot Noir at Its Peak

Akitu is a boutique Central Otago estate dedicated solely to Pinot Noir, crafting elegant, high-altitude wines from a single schist-soiled vineyard in Wanaka. Planted with six Pinot clones and farmed sustainably, Akitu focuses on purity, finesse, and site expression.

The wines are defined by bright alpine acidity, fine tannins, and deep yet refined fruit — a style that offers both immediate charm and excellent aging potential. The flagship A1 shows structure and complexity, while A2 delivers generous, juicy drinkability. Small-batch releases like the Pinot Noir Blanc highlight the estate’s precision and creativity.

For customers seeking premium, cool-climate Pinot with clarity, elegance, and a strong sense of place, Akitu consistently delivers some of Central Otago’s most compelling expressions.
