Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is a pristine example of what New Zealand whites do best. It opens with vivid aromas of citrus—lemon, lime, sometimes a hint of grapefruit—alongside tropical fruit notes like passionfruit and guava, all lifted by fresh herbal tones such as lemongrass or lime leaf. The palate is energetic and mouthwatering, with crisp acidity balancing ripe fruit, while a stony or saline minerality gives the wine texture and depth. It’s dry, precise and long‐finishing, with lingering citrus zest and tropical echoes. Ideal with seafood dishes, green herbs, or simply for drinking alone when you want something clean and striking.
