Winery Cloudy Bay
Cloudy Bay, a jewel of New Zealand, was founded in 1985 and quickly developed into one of the leading wineries in Marlborough.
The land originally used as sheep pasture was transformed under the founders' vision into a first-class wine-growing region.
Tasting notes
The Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a true gem of New Zealand and expresses the essence of Marlborough in every glass. This remarkable wine reveals a complex aroma profile characterized by fresh citrus notes and green lime. This is complemented by nuances of passion fruit and white peach, which highlight the freshness and liveliness of the wine.
On the palate, the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is juicy and precise with a perfectly balanced acidity. A hint of gooseberry and tropical fruits gives it a fascinating complexity that is enhanced by a mineral note.
The finish is long and elegant, with subtle hints of lemon peel and a touch of fresh grass, giving the wine a lasting freshness.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
