About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Pinot NoirMarlborough, New ZealandCloudy Bay Pinot Noir is the perfect wine to take when you don’t know what’s for dinner. A versatile wine with silky elegance, this Marlborough Pinot Noir shows plenty of red fruit characters when young. Notes of cherry and wild strawberry are framed by elegant tannins and fine freshness. As the wine ages, it becomes more complex, showing soft spices. Silky tannins and juicy freshness provide an elegant structure, while subtle oak gives complexity. Cloudy Bay's Marlborough Pinot Noir has a cellaring potential of 20 years.
Fruit for this wine comes from the cool clay soils and rolling, north-facing slopes of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys region. The gravel and clay subsoils balance drainage and water availability to yield the region's best Pinot Noir grapes. This is a benchmark Marlborough wine, proof that its climate and clay soils make it much more than a one-grape region.

Medium bodied red wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Pinot Noir was once a weak link in the Cloudy Bay chain. No longer. I wouldn't expect too many complaints if you served this. It's not in any way overdone, and yet it ticks all the right boxes. Fistfuls of spice, dried herbs, perfumed plum and sweet blueberries. Excellent mix of sdavouriness, spicines and sweetness, so that no one element dominates. Robust, muscular tannin. A dry finish and aftertaste. I'd expect this to improve over the next few years.
