Founders' Cellar Northburn Pinot Noir 2021
Cloudy Bay Founders’ Cellar Northburn Pinot Noir 2021 originates from the rocky terraces of Lake Dunstan. Initially closed, the nose unfurls with dark berry fruit and smoky graphite. The brooding palate reveals dark plum and damson swathed in silky tannins and bright Central Otago acidity. Decanting recommended.

Vineyard
This Pinot Noir comes from Northburn vineyard, which sits on the steep, hilly east bank of Lake Dunstan. The vines here spread across terraces of unforgiving, rocky, glacial soils. Helped by the large diurnal shifts of warm days and cool nights, these soils produce fruit of great structure and intensity.
