The winery takes its name from a bay named by Captain James Cook, whose waters were clouded with sediment at the time. Pelorus is its sparkling wine, made since 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in warm, stony soils close to the winery and whole-bunch pressed. The base wines are fermented in stainless steel and go through malolactic conversion before the second fermentation in bottle. The wine then rests en tirage for at least 24 months before disgorging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple, lemon and fresh bread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasty, creamy and complex, with crisp apple fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and nutty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe Cloudy Bay Pelorus well chilled, at around 8–10°C, in a tulip-shaped glass.
