2019 Cloudy Bay, Te Wāhi, Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand

Description

A beautifully balanced, multi layered expression of Pinot Noir which oozes aromatic complexity. The stunning bouquet draws you in with intense aromas of wild strawberries, roses and exotic spice. The palate is dark and intense with complex notes of sweet cherry, raspberry coulis, precise damson alongside well integrated notes of clove and oak spice. The tannins are wonderfully silky alongside a sparkling freshness and an immensely long moreish finish. This is a delightful wine which will certainly appeal to all pinot lovers.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 93/100

Aromas of dried strawberries and black cherries with lavender and orange peel. Medium body with creamy round tannins and a beautiful finish. Hints of bark and fresh herbs. Very drinkable and delicious now.

The 2019 Te Wahi Pinot Noir hails from Central Otago to be clear), but I’ve included it in the Marlborough report, given the estate is based there. Bottled in very heavy Burgundy glass and under natural cork, this wine leads with savory, earthy notes of fresh game, black pudding, charred coffee grounds, resin, oak and inflections of peat. In the mouth, the wine is hearty and full, shaped by firm, plentiful tannins. It feels very early in its lifespan, currently. It’s an altogether savory, rich, dense wine with a long future in front of it.
