2025 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

A fabulously concentrated Cloudy Bay with crisp acidity lending a zesty feel.

The 2025 release of the Sauvignon Blanc that put New Zealand wine on the map marks it’s 41st vintage. Brilliant water like core with a greenish tint to the edges. Pungent gooseberry, passionfruit, lime and green apple aromas engulf the olfactory senses with some herbaceous grassy and mineral notes also evident. Mouth watering ripe gooseberry, passionfruit and green apple flavours are delivered fabulous intensity, carrying with them ample textural volume. Some lime, delicate herbaceous grassy characters, spicy asparagus and flinty mineral elements extend across the back half. Crisp acidity lending a zesty feel across the long scrumptious finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
Concentrated and fragrant, with lemongrass, lemon verbena and celery salt notes to complement the pineapple, mango and lemon curd flavors, plus a touch of orange sherbet. Gains momentum on the long, expressive finish. Drink now.
