Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2018 (Marlborough) Red Wine 750ml

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2018 showcases the distinguished character of Marlborough's cool climate viticulture. This refined red wine presents an aromatic profile dominated by Morello cherry and wild bramble notes, creating an immediately appealing bouquet. The palate reveals fine, silky tannins structured around juicy acidity, delivering an elegant mouthfeel characteristic of premium Pinot Noir.

Subtle complexity unfolds with gentle toast and woodsmoke characters that complement the fruit-forward nature of this wine. The 2018 vintage demonstrates exceptional balance and finesse, reflecting Cloudy Bay's meticulous winemaking approach. This Marlborough Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with game meats, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses. Each 750ml bottle offers a genuine expression of New Zealand wine craftsmanship that will continue to develop beautifully over time.

The grapes are hand-harvested from selected vineyard blocks to ensure optimal ripeness and flavor development. Following fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle spice notes and structural refinement. The result is a Pinot Noir that brilliantly balances fruit purity with sophisticated complexity, embodying the outstanding potential of Marlborough for producing world-class red wines.
