2021 Cloudy Bay, Te Wāhi, Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand

Central Otago, the world’s most southerly wine region, has become synonymous with Pinot Noir, which has striking character and depth. First recognised for its potential in 1895 by Italian viticulturalist Romeo Bragato, the region has since transformed into one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine landscapes. Today, Pinot Noir accounts for around three-quarters of its vineyards, a testament to the grape’s affinity with the land and Central Otago's global reputation for producing wines of power, purity, and poise.
