Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir Te Wahi Central Otago 2021

Cloudy Bay exists today because of the vision and humble commitment to quality of its founder, David Hohnen, a farmer who loved wine and dreamt of expressing the terroir in his glass. Often credited with putting the Marlborough region on the global winemaking map, the story of Cloudy Bay is one of adventure. Hohnen was captivated by the intensity and depth of this wine. Knowing that a great wine is the expression of a great terroir, he felt as if the Sauvignon Blanc were a piece of land expressing something he had never experienced before. His dream then became to make the world discover this taste of Marlborough by crafting wines of the highest quality. He saw this land as a blank canvas and he knew that if he wanted to realise its potential, he would need a great winemaking artist who could paint it.

Tasting Notes

The Aromatics of Te Wahi Pinot Noir burst with red and black cherries, black plum and rich Christmas cake spices. As the wine unfolds, smoky flint and floral flavors appear. The wine is youthful on the palate with sweet fruit framed by bright acidity. The texture is supple with a velvety, yet firm tannin structure. The finish is long, focused and complex. The favourite pairings for Te Wahi include wild game and duck, venison and wagyu beef.
