Tasting Notes
Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wine makers to venture into Marlborough. Sauvignon Blanc is the iconic wine behind the Cloudy Bay tale. It defined New Zealand's wine and established the Marlborough wine region globally. It is the unmistakable aromas, ripe fruit flavours and fine structure that makes Cloudy Bay synonymous with premium Sauvignon Blanc globally. It is a fresh, aromatic & vibrant wine.
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc has a zesty and vibrant nose, with notes of juicy citrus and makrut lime underpinned by subtle white nectarine and passionfruit notes. The palate is mouthwatering, with ripe vibrant passionfruit and citrus at the fore. These meld with tropical hints of peach and guava, gently balanced by stony saline notes.
