Cloudy Bay Te Wahi 2021 Marlborough Pinot Noir

A Pinot Noir from Cloudy Bay, made by blending grapes from the company's two wineries. Fermentation takes place on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks with 12 to 19 days on the skins, followed by 12 months in French oak barriques, 30% new, and a further 12 months in bottle. It is suggested with game dishes, especially stewed wood pigeon. It is intense ruby red. The aromatic profile is complex and alluring, with sweet fruit, redcurrant, blueberry, cherry and woody notes. The palate is broad, with warm soft nuances, good acidity and an elegant tannic texture, giving balance. The finish is long and very persistent.
