2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Cloudy Bay, Marlborough
The Marlborough wine region in the north-east of New Zealand’s South Island is Sauvignon Blanc’s home away from its Loire Valley home and nowhere is the Marlborough style and character more purely expressed than in Cloudy Bay’s modern classic.
2009 vintage Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is generous and broad, with vibrant and enticing aromas of tropical and lime-driven citrus fruit. The palate is juicy and attractive, with concentrated grapefruit and mango characters, steely minerality and a very long, fresh finish.
