New Releases from Cloudy Bay
Always eagerly anticipated, we are pleased to offer the latest releases from New Zealand's iconic Cloudy Bay. Cloudy Bay is hugely popular throughout the world and especially in the UK - famed for producing crisp, vibrant, refreshing Marlborough Sauvignon with bracing flavour.
As well as the flagship Sauvignon Blanc and the highly sought after barrel-fermented Te Koko, we can also offer for the first time the estate's elegant Pinot Noir (93pts James Suckling) and crisp Chardonnay - worthy additions to any cellar.
£5 reduction per 12 bottles for any order of 24+ bottles
This is the 30th release of the estate's Sauvignon Blanc, the wine that brought the Marlborough region to the World's attention.
|
100% Sauvignon Blanc and fermented using wild yeast, it is allowed to undergo a slow natural 'wild' fermentation in French oak giving it intriguing smokey notes that are more usually associated with Chardonnay. Te Koko is always in strong demand and there are few that can compare.
93 points, James Suckling "This white shows fantastic slate, dry stone and earth character with licorice, aniseed and steel undertones. It's full-bodied with bright acidity and an incredible depth of flavor. Subtle dried tropical fruit character such as green papaya and mangos too. Goes on for minutes. Drink or hold." |
In 2012 the cool growing season and naturally low yields helped to produce fruit of outstanding balance and flavour.
93 points, James Suckling "A pinot noir that is subtle and complex with dried strawberry, cedar, nut and light meat character. Full to medium body with hints of chocolate, wet earth and mushroom. Such balance and finesse here. Screw cap. Drink now."
90 points, Wine Spectator "Elegant, with pure, plush raspberry coulis and cherry flavors at the core, gaining momentum as the layers of clove, pine, lavender and red licorice come in. Exhibits power on the finish. Drink now through 2028." |
The wine is 100% barrel fermented in French oak (20% new) for 1 year before bottling
90 points, Wine Spectator "Offers a laser beam of fruit intensity, with Meyer lemon, tangerine and ruby grapefruit flavors, accented by notes of crushed rock and apricot. A vivid, crisp acidity gives the flavors extra focus. Drink now."
