Classic Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc clean and crisp with an delightful explosion of citrus in your month. The perfect match for sitting by the fire on a cold and snowy Canadian Rockies weekend. Enjoy.

I keep on following cloudy as it is most probably the most famous NZ SB out there, at least at the high end tier. I have enjoyed this wine in many vintages it never disappoints, I think that in general my taste evolved and find myself enjoying this fruity tropical style less and less. This being said it is still a great wine that goes well with sea food of Asian food. With its light color, splendid tropical nots, touch of citrus, medium body and good acidity it easily scores 87 point, drink to 2019

Pale straw color. Fresh cut grass, green peppers, puckering, grapefruit, beautiful wine.

Fresh, citrus and exotic fruits with a not to high acidity for its age

Bags of mango, passion fruit and lemon wrapped up in a juicy, fresh package. Scornfully have I dismissed Cloudy Bay in the past. The 2015 vintage has changed that.

Managed to try this bad boy on it's international release day! Having someone in the family who works at Cloudy Bay has it's perks!

Lots of flavor - citrusy and summery. Easy on the palate and very drinkable. Gonna get myself more to tide over the summer

Really rather good. Grassy without being too tart. Drank it with Vietnamese style sea bass with garlic, ginger, chilli and spring onion plus jasmine rice.

Typical NZ SB. Grassy notes, grapefruit, a little bit of cat pee. Consistent, albeit a bit pedestrian.
