The Pinot Noir from Cloudy Bay accurately represents the style of the winery. An elegant, soft, and fragrant red wine, produced in New Zealand's Marlborough, it comes from a meticulous selection of parcels, including the Mustang and Barracks vineyards. It is the result of a embrace between the land and the sea, protected from the sun and wind. It is a silky, graceful, and intriguing Pinot Noir. The aging takes place in French oak barrels for about 12 months. The aroma recalls red fruit, sour cherry, violet, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is tense, velvety, concentrated, and spicy, combining verticality and softness, in a body of good structure focused on red fruit. It is an elegant tasting of Pinot Noir from the southern hemisphere.
