Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2020
/ #56712728
Cloudy Bay is among the pioneers in Marlborough and has for decades established itself as a solid reference for New Zealand wine, not least for Pinot Noir. The wine originates from the region's cool, maritime climate, where the grape variety has optimal conditions to express freshness and finesse.
2020 featured a cool growing season with relatively low yields and consequently concentrated aromatic wines. The style is typically vibrant and juicy with nuances of red berries, fine spices and rounded tannins. A mix of French oak and minimal filtration is usually used, which promotes the transparent character of the grape without overpowering its natural acidity and lightness.
Cloudy Bay's Pinot Noir tends to drink convincingly in its youth, but develops greater complexity over a few more years. The 2020 vintage has generally received positive reviews from international critics for its balance of cool fruit and structure.
