Sourced from superior vineyard sites across the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, this wine captures the essence of the South Island’s cool maritime climate. The meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and winery ensures each vintage showcases the bracing flavours and stunning vibrancy naturally afforded by the region’s diverse soils and microclimates. Bottled at 13.5% ABV, this is a wine that balances ripeness with refreshing acidity.

Nose: Immediately expressive in the glass, with bright ripe citrus, kaffir lime, passionfruit and white peach. Light floral notes add elegance without overwhelming the fruit-forward profile.

Palate: Mouthwatering flavours of ripe peach, passionfruit, lemon zest, grapefruit and green apple unfold across a medium-bodied frame. The wine shows a sleek, seamless texture with invigorating acidity and subtle grassy tones that add complexity. Mineral notes provide structure and balance, elevating this beyond simple fruit-driven styles.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with a lingering minerality that adds depth and keeps you coming back for another sip. The finish is clean and crisp, showcasing the purity of fruit and terroir.

This wine pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, ceviche, sushi, steamed mussels, prawns, tempura, grilled fennel, goat cheese, feta and light seafood salads. The bright acidity also works remarkably well with pasta in white bean sauce or rich vegetable dishes.

Serve well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a white wine glass to enhance the aromatic intensity and crisp texture. No decanting required—this wine is ready to enjoy immediately upon opening.

Perfect for lovers of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc who appreciate benchmark expressions from pioneering producers. Whether you’re sharing it over dinner with friends, pairing it with fresh seafood on a warm evening, or presenting it as a thoughtful gift to a wine enthusiast, this bottle delivers the quality and consistency that has made Cloudy Bay one of the most sought-after names in New Zealand wine for nearly four decades.
