Cloudy Bay

The Cloudy Bay vineyards are located in the Marlborough region, at the northern end of New Zealand's south island. This is a complex, medium bodied wine with red fruits, boysenberry and sweet spices. Well structured and balanced.

Winemaker's notes:

Our 2011 pinot noir captures your senses with immense florals including violets, boronia and flowering wild thyme. Raspberry licorish entices further along with wild strawberry, dark cherries, tabacco & spice. The palate is juicy but balanced by rich forest floor, clove and savoury flavours. Good tension between acid and fine tannins offers a well rounded palate with appealing length. We particularly enjoy our pinot noir with smoked duck breast, grilled portabello mushrooms and rack of venison.
