Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Founded in 1985 in Marlborough, Cloudy Bay is one of New Zealand's most iconic wineries. A true pioneer of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, it played a key role in establishing Marlborough's international reputation. Through meticulous vineyard selection, controlled yields and sustainable viticulture, Cloudy Bay crafts wines that faithfully express the freshness, purity and distinctive character of their terroir.

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc  is the estate's flagship wine, produced exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit comes from selected vineyards across the Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley, with each parcel vinified separately before the final blend. The 2025 vintage benefited from a long, slow ripening season, resulting in exceptional aromatic concentration. Around 4% of the wine is fermented in seasoned French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity while preserving the vibrant freshness and purity for which Cloudy Bay is renowned.
