Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2023, 0,75 l

With duck, with lamb, or perhaps with roast vegetables? With this Pinot, you can experiment a bit at the dinner table. The Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2023 comes from Marlborough and combines juicy fruit with silky elegance. On the nose, you’ll find strawberry and cherry, accompanied by a hint of vanilla and subtle toasty notes. On the palate, ripe plum joins the mix; an acidity reminiscent of redcurrants keeps the wine fresh.

The grapes are grown in the Southern Valleys on clay-rich soils and north-facing slopes. Key vineyards include Mustang, Delta and Barracks. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in open vats, with some whole bunches included. The wine is then aged for eleven months in French oak barrels.

Our suggestion: try it with pan-fried duck breast, herb-crusted lamb or roasted pumpkin. Served slightly chilled at around 12 to 15 °C, its fruity character comes through particularly well. If you’re looking for a red wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, add this Marlborough Pinot to your list of wines to discover.
