The vineyard sits alone at 380 metres on ancient schist soils, high enough that the big swing between warm days and cold nights builds real aromatic detail into the fruit. They make just two wines from the site, and the A2 is the more open and giving of the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuided by winemaker PJ Charteris, it's wild-yeast fermented with a portion of whole bunches for lift and aromatic complexity, then aged mostly in older French oak so the wood stays in the background. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it keeps the bright, high-altitude energy of the vineyard intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is silky and perfumed: dark cherry and crushed violet with a savoury note of wild herbs, carried by a fine, mineral line of acidity. Medium-bodied and supple, it's best served slightly cool, around 15-16°C.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akitu","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":56929417494911,"sku":"MENT-A2","price":29.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/5216\/1623\/products\/Akitu-A2.png?v=1661337850","url":"https:\/\/www.fulhamwinecompany.co.uk\/products\/akitu-a2-pinot-noir-central-otago-2020-75cl","provider":"The Fulham Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
