The Cloud Factory Pinot Noir comes from maritime vineyards in Marlborough’s Blind River Valley. A wine with a delicious texture of red current fruit to make each glass delicious.

Production

After green thinning on the vine grapes are harvested over a period of 10 days from late March through to early April. Each parcel is kept separate and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged up to 4 times daily. Post pressing, wine is then sent to a mixture of stainless steel and French oak for Malo and ageing.

Tasting Notes

From maritime vineyards in Marlborough’s south easterly extremes in the Blind River Valley. This coastal fruit is exploited by capturing a breezy finesse over the classic cranberry and wild strawberry aromas giving a wine with enough bite and texture to be foody but with enough generosity of fruit to be a delicious glass on its own. A lick of oak in the winemaking lends a little soothing creaminess to the whole.
