WINE DESCRIPTION

Cloud No. 9 Pinot Noir is a delicate, silky red hailing from the region of Marlborough, located on the south island of New Zealand. The winemaking process involves hand harvesting and careful sorting. Following the fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for around 18 months. The style of the wine is characterized by its red fruit flavors and silky tannins. This wine can be served lightly chilled and can pair with fish dishes as well as pan-fried duck.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Cloud No.9 Pinot Noir reveals a seductive pale ruby red color on pouring. The nose bursts with floral hints of violets and rose petals. This is followed by aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and raspberries. On the palate, it delivers a silky texture with flavors of fresh plums and cherries, smoky oak, and a hint of baking spices. The finish is moderate in length with refreshing acidity that provides a contrast for the notes of vanilla and spice.
