Cloudy Bay Te Wahi Pinot Noir 2018
Te Wahi 2015 is a blend of two remarkable Central Otago vineyard sites. The Calvert vineyard, on Felton Road in Bannockburn, sits at an altitude of 230m above sea-level and has uniform silty loam soils, formed as part of an ancient lake bed. It produces elegant, sweetly-scented and silky wines. The Northburn vineyard, a sloping site on the East bank of Lake Dunstan that rises from 220m to 275m, has a mixture of three soil types, all of glacial origin. The site is warm and dry during the grape-growing season, with cool nights, creating large diurnal temperature shifts. Northburn yields architectural and generous wines. On the nose it is fragrant bramble and wild strawberry notes with a hint of violet. On the palate it delivered an elegant core of concentrated damson and hedgerow fruit with fine tannins and vibrant freshness. Food Pairing: Enjoy with braised venison or similar dishes!
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 'Au Closeau', Domaine Drouhin-Laroze 2021
The 2021 'Au Closeau' from Drouhin-Laroze is medium to full-bodied with a finely tuned structure. The tannins are firm yet elegant, providing a solid backbone for the wine's vibrant fruit profile. The acidity is well-balanced, ensuring freshness and a long, persistent finish.
