Product Overview

"Sleek, seamless and expressive, with notes of ruby grapefruit, Key lime, mango puree, salted and preserved lemon, and lemon basil, plus details of fresh sea salt, all on a mouthwatering frame. Shows plenty of intensity on the long, expressive finish, where a hint of green tea emerges. Drink now. 290,000 cases made, 70,000 cases imported." -MW, 8/31/25

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc has an addition to its label—the 40th vintage. Yes, it was 40 years since the first Cloudy Bay Sauvignon burst onto the scene. Now, it’s a much bigger operation covering more than 400 hectares, but it still maintains its exclusivity. This sweetly fruited expression offers all that juicy tropical flavor we've come to expect from Marlborough, with layers of green capsicum and elderflower coursing through its mid-palate. It is silky and balanced, with succulent flesh built through its core and a line of fresh, drawn-out acidity keeping this going on the medium-length finish." -RB, Mar/2025

"There's some sweaty pungency, that, alongside the peach, pineapple and snap pea notes, gives a sweet-and-sour impression. Dry overall, there's some pithy punch to the palate with slightly synthetic fruity flavors that finish quickly." -CP, 7/1/25
