The iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - vibrant, fresh, and unmistakably Cloudy Bay.
It unfurls in the glass to reveal profound and attractive notes of citrus, lime leaf, apricot and orange blossom. The palate shows mouth-watering intensity, with subtle-but-juicy passion fruit notes melding with those of citrus, white stone fruit, makrut lime, pink peppercorn, hibiscus and pink grapefruit. Throughout, there is a freshening saline edge and a fresh-squeezed lemon acidity that carries a long, concentrated and complex finish.
Founded in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first wineries to establish Marlborough as a world-class wine region. Pioneers of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, they set the benchmark for vibrant, aromatic wines that balance purity of fruit with refined structure. The winery is committed to sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, ensuring that every bottle reflects the unique character of its terroir. Today, Cloudy Bay continues to be an internationally recognised symbol of quality and innovation in New Zealand wine.
Sourced from estate and grower vineyards in Marlborough's Wairau Valley, where cool nights and well-drained soils allow Sauvignon Blanc to thrive. The region's long sunshine hours and maritime influence help develop intense aromatics and bright acidity.
Grapes are harvested in the cool of the early morning to retain freshness. Fermented predominantly in stainless steel, with a very small portion in old oak and concrete vessels for added texture, the winemaking process is designed to showcase pure fruit expression and classic Marlborough character.
Perfect with fresh seafood like oysters and grilled prawns, tangy goat's cheese, or light salads with citrus dressings. For something different, try it with Thai green curry or sushi for a zesty, palate-refreshing pairing.
