Tasting Note

Cloudy Bay Chardonnay is one for connoisseurs and gastronomic adventurers: refined, poised and balanced. Painstakingly made using traditional techniques, it is a true ‘food wine’. Fruit from vineyards in the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the dense clay of the Southern Valleys work together to create a wine that marries ripe stone fruit and citrusy elegance. The 2020 Chardonnay is a welcoming burst of warmth and intensity. The nose is immediately open and appealing, with notes of white peach, apricot, ripe citrus and warm hay. A squeeze of ripe lemon freshens an intense palate of yellow stone fruit framed by mouthwatering saline acidity. Gentle notes of toast provide a savoury backbone to the luscious fruit, providing moreish balance.

Cloudy Bay

In 1983, David Hohnen tasted his first Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Captivated by its intensity, he began a journey to bottle the essence of Marlborough and share it with the world. He and winemaker Kevin Judd launched Cloudy Bay in 1985 to international acclaim, with a Sauvignon Blanc that put New Zealand wine on the map. The winery's name is derived from Cloudy Bay, a scenic inlet located at the eastern extremity of the Wairau Valley, near the town of Blenheim. The vineyards of Cloudy Bay are situated in the Wairau Valley within the Marlborough region. This region is celebrated for its cool climate, which is ideal for producing vibrant and expressive wines. Cloudy Bay joined Veuve Clicquot in 2003 and became part of the LVMH family in 2010.
