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!
Nuits-Saint-Georges, Aux Thorey, Domaine de Montille 2020
The 2020 Domaine de Montille Aux Thorey has vibrant floral notes interwoven with red currant and gentle spice. Plush yet measured tannins, and a mineral core bursting with elegant fruit depth and polished finesse, it's graceful and age-worthy, embodying the restrained power typical of top-tier Nuits-Saint-Georges. Domaine de Montille is one of Burgundy’s most revered estates and this burgeoning family property is very much at the top of its game, producing wines of exceptional quality: scintillating, proper Burgundies, unusually across both reds and whites.
