Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Branco

Description

“Cloudy Bay, named after Captain Cook’s sighting of the misty bay, continues to delight. Born from the vision of David Hohnen, this Sauvignon Blanc embodies a beautiful balance between tradition and daring innovation – a testament to Marlborough’s potential when others deemed it a fairytale. The fermentation, subtly spiced by a lively 3% of CO2 aging in old oak barrels, delivers a vibrant complexity of kaffir lime, lemon zest, and a delicate orange blossom aroma, mirroring the bay’s namesake. This isn’t a shy wine; it’s intensely citrus-driven, showcasing the freshness of ‘fruit of the stone’ and boasting a finish that evokes the spirit of exploration of James Cook – a true New Zealand icon. Absolutely brilliant with oysters or a perfectly grilled fish.”
