Cloudy Bay states that its Pinot Noir grapes come from Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, including key blocks such as Mustang, Delta and Barracks. The grapes are de-stemmed into open-top fermenters and fermented with wild yeast, with some whole bunches included to build structure. After pressing, the wine is matured in French oak for 11 months.

In the glass it presents as a red Pinot Noir. The aroma is open and expressive, led by wild hedgerow fruits, crushed rose petals and sun-warmed red cherry. The palate is shaped by silky tannins and bright acidity, carrying summer berries, soft spice and a small touch of biscuity vanilla before a long, fruit-led finish with subtle savoury warmth.

Choose Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir for meals where a lighter, aromatic red is more suitable than a heavy wine. Cloudy Bay recommends it with lighter game meats such as duck or rabbit, lamb, roasted vegetables, berries, herbs and chargrilled dishes. Serve slightly chilled for a fresher expression.
