How does Pinot Noir 2023 taste?
Beautifully aromatic and enticing on the nose, with a distinctly summery character. Scents of strawberry and cherry run alongside a touch of vanilla and toast.
The palate is immediately bright and concentrated. Notes of sun-ripened Victoria plums, strawberry and cherry recall fruit picking on warm days. All is freshened and enlivened by a dart of redcurrant acidity.

Pinot Noir 2023 Winemaking
How it's made
The grapes are de-stemmed and put into open-top fermenters with wild yeast. Some whole bunches are included to build structure. Once the wine is pressed, it’s matured in French oak for 11 months. The final wine is an elegant, complex and fine-boned expression of Marlborough’s soils and Cloudy Bay’s vision.
