The Sauvignon Blanc 2023 was blended stringently to include only the best; 82 different portions were tasted, and which only 50 portions were selected to create the final blend. The bottle has an enticing nose, appealing aromas of ripe honeydew melon, passion fruit, vibrant citrus and a subtle touch of fresh blackcurrant leaf. ​Forget all you know about New Zealand's Sauvignon Blanc ! Cloudy Bay broke the winemaking rules to create a sophisticated style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc made through wild fermentation and aging in old French oak barrique. The seductive taste has flavors of smoky caramel and floral notes with fully ripen citrus and tropical fruits. ​
