Pinot Noir

The 2019 growing season began with early budburst after a mild winter and warm early spring. Late spring brought cool, unsettled weather during flowering, which meant lower-than-average yields. The weather continued through December, but Christmas brought the gift of warm, dry conditions until harvest. Vineyard crews undertook careful canopy work to ensure the grapes could bask in the sun, with the resulting fruit proving concentrated and complex.

The elegant Marlborough red

A balanced and lively expression of Pinot Noir from the Marlborough region.

Nose

The Cloudy Bay 2019 Pinot Noir is deep, dark-fruited and aromatic. The nose is laden with notes of bramble berries, graphite and morello cherry.

Palate

On the palate you’ll find Victoria plum, loganberry and autumn fruit held together with fine, silky tannins and balanced with juicy acidity. The finish is long and the wine is exceptionally moreish.
