What the media say...
New Zealand's most famous winery, Cloudy Bay, is renowned throughout the world for the brilliant quality of its wines. Its striking labels featuring the Mount Riley peak have made the wines not only internationally-acclaimed favourites but also style icons.
Perfectionist winemaker Kevin Judd, the man behind Cloudy Bay since its first days, insists on the most 'hands-off' winemaking possible - allowing this most enigmatic of grapes to express its charm.
Matured in luxurious French oak casks, this concentrated Pinot is filled with rich aromas of ripe plums, cherries and tobacco. Delicious proof that "at it's best New Zealand Pinot competes very favourably with Premier Cru Burgundy" … at a fraction of the price!
