Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Cloudy Bay

Date Tasted: 4/2023

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a world-renowned wine from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay Winery was one of the first to recognise the potential of this region for producing high-quality Sauvignon Blanc. The winery's vineyards are located in the Wairau Valley, where the combination of warm days and cool nights creates the ideal conditions for growing grapes with intense fruit flavours and crisp acidity. The result is a refreshing and lively Sauvignon Blanc that has become an iconic representation of New Zealand's winemaking prowess.
