Cloudy Bay Vineyard...

Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by the founder of the Cape Mentelle winery in Margaret River, Western Australia. Grapes are grown principally at three carefully selected sites: around the winery in the Wairau Valley, at nearby Renwick and in the neighbouring Brancott Valley.

The Marlborough region is located at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, just across the strait from Wellington. The Wairau Valley, on the floodplain of the Wairau River, is the major grape growing area of Marlborough. Flanked in the north by the Richmond Ranges and in the south by the wither hills, it empties into the bay from which the winery takes its name.

The soil is made up of deep sedimentary gravel and silt deposited by the river. The valley enjoys a very cool, maritime climate and more hours of sunshine than any other region of New Zealand.

Cloudy Bay is committed to wines with regional character. Emphasis is placed on the varietal characteristics, with recognisable and inimitable estate style.

Pale straw green in colour and enticingly fragrant, the 2007 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is reminiscent of a fresh summer fruit salsa – ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and juicy citrus – sprinkled with fresh fennel and a dash of Pastis.

The palate is rich and succulent, with a zesty citrus and apple-sherbet acidity that leads to a long, lingering, and characteristically crisp finish.

An enticing fragrance of dusky dark fruits – black cherries, plums and berries intermingles with rich earthy aromas and exotic spices. The intensely varietal palate of ripe red and black fruit has chary oak flavours and plush velvety tannins that clothe a tautly structured frame.

The Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2006 reflects the benefits of a naturally low-cropping season and finishes with great length and depth of flavour.
