Cloudy Bay New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
Cloudy Bay has built a reputation for refined, elegant Sauvignon Blanc and that's thanks to the stable weather during the harvest. Warm and dry conditions through December and cooler weather from January onwards allowed for more steady ripening.
Cloudy Bay was one of the first wine makers to start up in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, which is now the foremost of the country's wine-making regions. Its Sauvignon Blanc is one of its most characteristic wines, not least because its refined nature plus the taste of stone fruit and lemongrass have contributed much to its outstanding name.
Vineyards located in the Rapaura, Fairhall, Renwick and Brancott sub-regions of the Wairau Valley.
