Tasting Notes

Wine-makers note…..’Aromas of poached pear and grapefruit are beautifully complemented by a savoury complexity reminiscent of roasted cashews and oatmeal. The combination of "hands-off" winemaking and vibrant Marlborough fruit delivers a rich, textural palate with concentrated citrus and fig flavours, seamlessly integrated oak, and a persistent finish.’

Cloudy Bay Vineyards was established in 1985 by Cape Mentelle Vineyards in Western Australia. Innovation, meticulous attention to detail and regional expression, are the guiding principles of Cloudy Bay.

The winery takes its name from the bay at the eastern extremity of the Wairau Valley, which was named Cloudy Bay by Captain Cook on his voyage to New Zealand in 1770.
