Highlights: Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Marlborough, New Zealand
First look at the 2025 vintage in Marlborough by way of one of the region’s classics, the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. It was a good vintage: a cool spell in the new year followed by warm conditions during the harvest period.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Marlborough, New Zealand
13% alcohol. Highly aromatic, as you might expect at this early stage in its life, with green-tinged elderflower, citrus and passionfruit notes: quite intoxicating. The palate has some riper pear and crystalline citrus, together with nicely elegant green notes, a hint of tomato, and a fine white pepper finish, as well as a touch of grapefruit. Crisp, textural and delicious, this is benchmark Marlborough Sauvignon. 93/100
