Pinot noir 2022, Cloudy Bay
A monumental red for charisma, opulence, and stylistic rigor. The aromatic profile alternates crisp black fruits with mineral and toasted notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the southern sun and the verticality of the sip. A style statement that represents the pinnacle of oceanic Pinot Noir.
Pinot noir 2022, Cloudy Bay
The 2022 Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is a monumental work, the very essence of New Zealand expressed with stylistic rigor and millimetric precision. Produced from a selection of vineyards in the Wairau and Southern Valleys, where the well-draining soil and maritime climate shape grapes of incredible intensity, this 2022 stands out for its sovereign balance. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of black cherry, wild plum, and violet petals blend with deep hints of dark spices, cloves, smoky wood, and a mineral trail reminiscent of graphite. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entry is silky yet supported by a vibrant acidic backbone, with noble, dense tannins that unfold towards a savory, endless finish characterized by aristocratic balsamic freshness.
