Cloudy Bay Te Wahi
APPEARANCE
A deep, dark purple.
AROMA
Aromas of berries and florals sit alongside hints of forest floor, graphite and five-spice.
TASTE
Flavours of dark fruits, raw cocoa and warm spice–complemented by a succulent generosity – characterise the palate. This pinot noir is soft in texture, with fine tannins, linear acidity and a long finish.
Thanks to the continued demand for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Cloudy Bay's Pinot Noir wines tend to disappear under the radar a bit. It's a shame, but it does mean that those who have discovered them are grateful to have more to themselves. Te Wahi is distinctive from Pinot Noir from Marlborough being made in Otago and has a totally different taste structure. Hugely recommended it is a luscious blend of rich cherry and plum fruit with just a superb after taste. One to stop you in your tracks!
Full-flavoured wild game, duck, venison or richly marbled Wagyu beef are the perfect complement to the deep flavours and fine tannins of this well-structured wine.
Serve at 10-12°C
