It was founded by David Hohnen in 1985. This gentleman recognized the potential of the Marlborough region. It was therefore one of the first wineries to produce wine commercially in this region of New Zealand, and with great success. Cloudy Bay is synonymous with quality. Cloudy Bay wines are received with great acclaim worldwide. Their Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, in particular, set them apart from their fellow New Zealand wineries.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The vineyards full of Pinot Noir grapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Marlborough region, located in the north of the South Island, is exceptionally well-suited for viticulture. New Zealand knows all about that. For almost 40 years, highly successful wines have been produced there. In that respect, Cloudy Bay Winery has been a true pioneer. They invest heavily in their vineyards and are constantly innovating. For example, the vines, full of Pinot Noir, grow in the most suitable locations in Marlborough, ensuring they receive plenty of sunshine while also receiving sufficient freshness from the coast. This allows the grapes to ripen exceptionally well, and this is clearly evident in the character of this much-loved Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A perfect Pinot Noir from Cloudy Bay\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Pinot Noir grape is known as a headstrong grape. It's not easily tamed. However, New Zealand's pleasant climate has a positive effect on the Pinot Noir grapes. They are elegant, refined, and exceptionally flavorful. The full bunches are harvested by hand in the early morning and carefully transported to the winery in small wooden crates. Here, the bunches are fermented, and the precious juice undergoes a beautiful oak aging process. This Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir rests for a full 12 months before it leaves the cellars. You may have to be patient with this red wine, but you'll get a lot in return. Think delicate notes like dark cherries, warm plums, and black currants. But use your senses wisely; you'll also smell hints of mocha and exotic spices. A centuries-old finish with distinct oak notes completes Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir.","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775920934991,"sku":"452","price":30.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/cloudy-bay-pinot-noir-rood_452.webp?v=1770044894"},{"product_id":"springfield-life-from-stone-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Springfield Life From Stone Sauvignon Blanc","description":"Life from Stone takes its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown.

These were French Huguenots who arrived in South Africa from the Loire Valley in 1688, carrying bundles of vines under their arms. They have complete faith in nature and therefore use a lot of natural yeasts from the grape skins. It's a risk, but when it works out, the result is truly exceptional wine.\n\n\n \nSpringfield is a traditional winery whose philosophy is to keep wine production and operations as natural as possible. Winemaker Abrie Bruwers is passionate about Springfield wines, bringing immense expertise while minimizing intervention in the winery's production—a principle that has firmly established Springfield's reputation as a renowned producer of world-class wines. Regularly recognized with prestigious awards and accolades internationally, Springfield wines have become an integral part of the wine world.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A Sauvignon Blanc that shines in the glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested at night in February. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place for 21 days. The wine then rests on the lees for 100 days. This ultimately results in a straw-yellow wine with fresh green reflections in the glass, exuding a bouquet of fragrant herbs and mineral notes of slate and flint, contributing to a remarkable complexity.

Each cluster of grapes undergoes a thorough inspection, as only the very best bunches will ultimately make it into the Gran Trio Rosso. The grapes are carefully collected into small crates, ready to be transported to the press in San Marzano. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently pressed, releasing the deep black juice into the barrels. For the aging of this Gran Trio, San Marzano uses French oak barrels, where the wine rests for four to five months. This period is crucial for the Gran Trio Rosso, as it allows the wine to develop its rich flavors and develop into a velvety smooth wine.

At the table, it pairs perfectly with roasted chicken with lemon and tarragon, grilled lobster or langoustines, and rich vegetable dishes with fennel, pumpkin, or almond. It is also an ideal \"quiet moment wine\" to savor slowly on a long summer evening, when you want to dream of the Swartland with your glass alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3815\" data-end=\"3831\"\u003e Awards \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3835\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e 2024 – 5 stars (Platter's Wine Guide)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44336302948431,"sku":"30068","price":20.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/GoldmineBoekenhoutskloof2024.webp?v=1768210733"},{"product_id":"castello-di-neive-langhe-pinot-nero-i-cortini","title":"Castello di Neive Langhe Pinot Nero i Cortini","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"62\"\u003eCastello di Neive Langhe DOC Pinot Nero, Piedmont, Italy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"513\"\u003eThe Castello di Neive Langhe DOC Pinot Nero demonstrates that the Langhe region is not exclusively Nebbiolo territory.
