Description
In a nutshell:
Wonderfully complex and layered - and the name that made New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc famous..
The lowdown:
The 2019 vintage of the wine gave Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc the global reputation it enjoys today. It's still reliably made to the same high standards with the fruit being sourced from a selection of vineyards across the Wairau valley. It's bright, vibrant, with an elegant balance of tropical and citrus character. The palate is mouthwatering, with concentrated juicy tropical notes, underpinned by a lively grapefruit acidity, carrying the intense fruit characters through to an impressively long finish.
The Producer:
Back in 1985 Cloudy Bay was one of the first wineries to venture into Marlborough at the top end of New Zealands South Island. At that 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 to achieve his aims, invested in the best land of the region. Since then, Marlborough has become New Zealand's leading wine region and Sauvignon Blanc arguably the world's most popular white wine. Cloudy Bay, the name came from a body of water explorer Captain James Cook discovered during his voyage to New Zealand in 1770, can claim to be the wine that launched Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc onto the world stage.
When to drink:
The tropical flavours and bold aromatics make this a wine that's ideal with things like spicy oriental seafood or Thai green curries.
