Despite unpredictable weather in the Wairau Valley and a lower yield than usual, this 2021 vintage has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Beautifully warm, dry conditions just before the harvest produced superb fruit that saved the day.
With an intense, vibrant aroma, and taste perfectly balanced between sweet and saline, New Zealand’s famous export is ready to be enjoyed. Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a definitive expression of the region and its season. Appealing concentration and poise suggests a wine with the ability to age. The nose is bright with aromas of kaffir lime and grapefruit. A generous palate reveals ripe citrus, stone fruit and lemongrass flavours balanced by crunchy acidity. Perhaps the hallmark of this vintage is its persistent finish rich with minerality.
