2012 Clayvin Pinot Noir, Giesen, Marlborough

While Sherwyn Veldhuizen and Marcel Giesen continue to nurture their now highly sought after Bell Hill vineyard, a recent acquisition has made them proud owners of one of New Zealand’s most iconic vineyards: Clayvin in Marlborough. Their Pinot Noir is simply a wonderful experience – biodynamically crafted from tiny blocks of vines to create an epic balance of perfumed elegance and concentrated lacy fruit. This is stunning.

Tasting notes

… Made at Giesen. Light garnet. Fresh and zesty – much more delicate than some of its peers. Well done! Very pretty.

Giesen Wines

The Clayvin vineyard is one of New Zealand's finest, and combining that with the Giesen brothers' talent makes a potent mix. They're now making some of New Zealand's best Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from this beautiful site, that takes its name from the makeup of the soil. And with ever increasing critical acclaim, they're a producer you really should follow.
