Pinot Noir

Cloudy Bay is one of the most famous producers of the Marlborough wine region in New Zealand. It was established in 1985 as one of the first producers of Marlborough and today, the flagship Sauvignon Blanc is one of the country's most sought-after wines. Marlborough has a strong maritime climate with some of the longest sunshine hours of anywhere in the country, ideal for ripening grapes with concentrated flavor compounds. The estate was started in 1985 by David Hohnen, the founder of Cape Mentelle Vineyards in Western Australia's Margaret River region. Hohnen sold Cloudy Bay to Veuve Clicquot in 1990. In 2003, Veuve Clicquot was purchased by the multinational luxury group, LVMH.

Rose petals, dark cherries and blackberries fill the nose. On the palate, a core of rounded bramble fruit, ripe boysenberry and wild strawberry is unpinned by silky tannins and fine acidity. A concentrated yet elegant wine.
