Tasting note

Sophisticated Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc put New Zealand on the wine world map. It delivers intense, now-classic flavours of gooseberry, melon, lime and minerality. Pair with grilled chicken, grilled calamari, mildly spiced vegetarian dishes or crab.

Pale straw green in colour and enticingly fragrant, the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers lifted aromas of ripe stonefruit and juicy citrus with underlying notes of blackcurrant leaf and tomato plant spice . The palate is fine yet succulent, with zesty citrus flavours and fresh acidity. There is an appealing plushness about this wine especially as it leads into a lingering and characteristically crisp finish.

As Featured in TASTE Magazine, Summer 2012. Zesty lime and grapefruit aromas are the first to emerge from the nose, followed by nectarine and lemon grass tones. The palate is fresh and focused with ripe citrus, stonefruit, fennel and mineral notes lingering on the persistent finish.
