Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2023

Few wines changed the way the world saw New Zealand like Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Zesty, bright and unafraid to break from convention, it remains one of the country's best-known bottlings and among the most talked-about expressions of the variety anywhere. The 2023 vintage carries a balanced flavor profile, a smooth texture and subtle notes that reflect careful winemaking, at 13.5% ABV in a 750 ml bottle.

The winemaking team works with fruit drawn from roughly 90 separate vineyard parcels across Marlborough, keeping only the strongest lots for the final blend. The result reads like sunshine and vine rows captured in glass, with enough vibrancy and intensity to hold up well over time in the cellar.
