2019 Pinot Noir 'Clayvin Vineyard', Giesen, Marlborough
If the level at which you’re paying for premium-end red burgundy has your eyes rolling ever more upwards, maybe it’s time your taste for Premier Cru-calibre vineyard expression enjoyed this same level of drinking pleasure, but from elsewhere - and at Village-end prices.
We're offering you Giesen Estate’s Clayvin Vineyard 2019 Pinot Noir (single vineyard) from New Zealand’s world-renowned Marlborough region, and with it, the kind of bottle-aged, floral finesse, luscious elegance, and intriguing complexity you’re probably used to paying a lot more for.
From Clayvin Vineyard: a Marlborough Grand Cru in essence, and one for which, as former co-owner, I did all I could to get on the map of New Zealand’s most esteemed vineyards. Where the appellation’s standard for premium pinot and chardonnay quality has been set, such that wines by the only other regional producer sourcing Clayvin fruit come nearer the £50/bottle mark.
