New Zealand Wine: Cloudy Bay Presents - The Ultimate Urban Duck Season

(drinks media wire) – Official duck hunting season runs until the end of July, but for those who prefer the hospitable surroundings of a restaurant and a glass of Pinot Noir with their duck, the Cloudy Bay Pinot & Duck trail offers New Zealanders the ultimate culinary Pinot Noir and Duck experience.

Ten of the country’s best restaurants have created a food and wine match made in heaven, serving signature duck dishes paired with a glass of the Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir for diners to enjoy throughout the month.

Today marks the half way point for the event, where food and wine lovers can experience their own urban duck season by following the Cloudy Bay Pinot & Duck trail from one restaurant to the next.

“The Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir boasts layers of dark berries and cherry, cinnamon, fresh herbs, bramble fruit and cranberry, balanced with notes of fresh mushroom, white pepper and savoury spice, making it the perfect accompaniment for duck,” says Cloudy Bay winemaker Sarah Burton.
