Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Product characteristics
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is made in New Zealand’s Marlborough region from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The winery combines Wairau Valley ripeness with Awatere Valley tension and minerality. Fermentation in stainless steel and a touch of lees contact give the wine clarity, precision and a subtle creamy texture. The 2024 vintage shows exceptional aromatic purity, with vibrant citrus, fresh herbs and energetic tropical fruit. This wine is one of the benchmark expressions of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Choose it if you appreciate wines with crisp acidity and a distinct citrus-herbal profile.
Serve well-chilled at 8-10°C, preferably in a white wine glass. Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood and fresh, aromatic dishes: oysters, ceviche, prawns, steamed mussels, sushi and sashimi. It also works with goat-cheese salads, asparagus risotto, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, citrus-driven chicken and herbed vegetable plates. Its crisp acidity and herbal-citrus profile make it exceptionally versatile with light, fresh food.
