Cloudy Bay are best known as the guys that put New Zealand on the world wine map back in the late 1980s. It was their world class Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that caught the eye of the wine world but these days their increased focus on other wines, like the Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir, is really paying off.
The Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir from Marlborough is one of only two reds produced by Cloudy Bay – the other being the flagship Te Wahi Pinot from Central Otago.
In true winemaker waffle this is described as “a seamless structure and concentrated palate, framed with ripe silky tannins and complex spicy oak and herbal notes.” We just thought this was a Pinot with class, power and elegance, a bit like an iron fist in a velvet glove.
This latest 2022 vintage is yet another class act and has the backing of Master of Wine Bob Campbell…
93/100 & Top Rank Award (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
“GSupple and appealing pinot noir with floral/red rose petal, bright cherry and subtle mixed spice flavours. Light, bright, silken-textured wine with surprising power and purity. Deliciously drinkable “
It’s got massive cellaring potential of ten years plus but we reckon this is the ultimate dinner party red. And what to serve? Duck. Rich, fatty, glorious duck!
