Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Since 1985, the iconic New Zealand estate, Cloudy Bay, has taken no shortcuts in the pursuit of excellence. They have old vines at Cloudy Bay, rooted in sand and gravel soils. There is never a question of ripeness with plenty of that Southern Hemisphere sun. But the growing season is long, ripeness is tempered by cooling breezes from Pacific Ocean. The end result is a world-famous, refined Sauvignon Blanc with great aromatic complexity and length.

The 2019 rendition is fine and elegant, with a crisp and clean mouthfeel and finish; drink this with everything, even Christmas Day pickles! The price is crazy, one of the best in the country. We are likely not to see another price like this on any iconic white all year, load up!
