Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2025 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, is a wine that has defined the region's character for four decades. This 2025 vintage comes from what was the driest year on record, concentrating both fruit and mineral expression in the glass.
The wine opens with fragrant grapefruit and sweet lime, backed by a whisper of jalapeño. On the palate, bright citrus and fresh herbs give way to a subtle tomato-stalk note that adds savory depth. The texture is fine and silky, with vibrant acidity cutting through to a stony, dry finish that carries real length. This is juicy and balanced, tropical fruit meets green capsicum and elderflower, structured by the kind of fresh, drawn-out acidity that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is known for, with succulent flesh at its core. It's ready to drink now and will hold well.

Expert Reviews
From the driest vintage on record, this is a fragrant, juicy wine, with aromas of grapefruit, sweet lime and jalapeño leading to a fine-textured palate with bright citrus fruit, fresh herbs and a touch of tomato stalk. Vibrant acidity drives a stony, dry finish with decent length.
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.
