NV Cloudy Bay Pelorus Brut
$
Region: Marlborough, NZ
Viticulture: Conventional
Winemaker: Nikolai St George
Winery Established Date: 1985
A fresh combination of Chardonnay led citrus and pear fruits underpinned by savoury tones from the Pinot Noir component and characters of grilled bread and brioche. Deliciously crisp with toasty, creamy complexity, enhanced by a lingering nutty finish. Richly textured yet with a dry sophistication.
Sommeliers Recommendation
I love a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blended sparkling wine. They bring together both white fruits and red fruits character. Cloudy Bay’s Pelorus is a favourite for us to pour by the glass at our restaurants. Lovely toasty nose with some green apple and citrus. Bubbly & dry with a crisp, nutty finish. Definitely a crowd pleaser!
Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wine makers to venture into Marlborough. At the time, it was almost an unimaginable place to set-up a vineyard. But Cloudy Bay’s founder – David Hohnen – was convinced of its potential to produce great wine and invested in the best land of the region. Since then, Marlborough has risen to become New Zealand’s leading wine region, as well as one of the finest winemaking locations in the world. The winery is named after Cloudy Bay, a body of water explorer Captain James Cook named during his voyage to New Zealand in 1770.
