Sauvignon Bl Cloudy Bay 2019 750ml

The iconic wine behind the Cloudy Bay tale

Defined New Zealand's wine and established the Marlborough wine region globall.

For its 35th vintage, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc celebrates in style with this elegant classic. 2019 provided the ideal conditions to make the style of wine for which Cloudy
Bay is famous - bright, vibrant, with an elegant balance of tropical and citrus characters.

Nose
Immediately expressive in the glass, with notes of bright, ripe citrus, makrut lime, passionfruit and white peach.
Palate
The palate is vibrant and mouthwatering, with concentrated juicy tropical notes, underpinned by a lively grapefruit acidity, carrying the intense fruit characters

Harvest

The Sauvignon Blanc harvest commenced on March 15th and was completed on April 2nd, the earliest finish to a Sauvignon Blanc harvest in the 34 years since Cloudy Bay
was founded. Fruit was picked with ripe flavour and a delicious concentration.
Vinification

Following the harvest, the free-run was cold-settled, before racking and inoculation with selected yeast. Fermentation was carried out primarily in stainless steel tanks, with
approximately 5% of the blend fermented at warmer temperatures in old French oak vats. As usual, our Sauvignon Blanc was blended stringently from 82 different portions to
include only the best.
