The 2021 Cloudy Bay Te Wāhi Pinot Noir is sourced from two distinct vineyards: Northburn, with its rocky, glacially derived soils, and Calvert, set in the fine silts and loams of an ancient lakebed on Felton Road. Together, they form a deeply expressive, site-driven Pinot that balances richness and restraint. The name \u003cem data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"532\"\u003eTe Wāhi,\u003c\/em\u003e meaning “the place” in te reo Māori, reflects Cloudy Bay’s intent to honour terroir through a finely judged, minimal-intervention approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003eFermentation includes both de-stemmed and whole-bunch parcels, followed by gentle maceration and élevage in French oak. The resulting wine is poised and elegant, delivering concentrated fruit wrapped in polished tannins and bright acidity. This 2021 vintage captures Central Otago’s cool-climate edge while offering a textural, seamless expression of Pinot Noir built to reward early drinking and short-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1114\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1125\" data-end=\"1128\"\u003e– Dark berries and spice\u003cbr data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003eAromas of black cherry, damson and plum are joined by hints of dark chocolate, graphite and crushed herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003e– Silky and layered\u003cbr data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eBlack fruit flavours unfold with fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity, underpinned by savoury spice and earthy nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1551\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1434\"\u003e– Elegant and persistent\u003cbr data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003eA long, refined finish with lingering berry fruit, subtle oak spice and mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1800\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Plenty of ripe and dried strawberries with a slate and metal-shavings undertone on the nose and palate.
