Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024

You don’t often need to say much about Cloudy Bay, this Sauvignon Blanc is simply the most iconic of its kind worldwide.

The 2024 vintage hails from a remarkable year in Marlborough, a fact clearly reflected in the current Cloudy Bay. It’s crafted from a blend of 91 individual parcels, each vinified separately, with 4% aged in used oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel.

This vintage is slightly cooler than usual, lending it a more elegant profile. Expect vibrant notes of redcurrant, gooseberry, and the hallmark lychee, alongside a hint of yellow pepper. The nose is expressive yet fully ripe and rich in texture. On the palate, it’s radiant, bone-dry, and elegantly structured with crisp acidity and excellent tension.

An uncompromising Sauvignon Blanc—for many, it remains the benchmark of the category. Ideal with Asian cuisine featuring fresh vegetables or perfect for pairing during asparagus season.

While this wine can age gracefully for up to 10 years (some even say 20), most will enjoy it far sooner, as it’s a true expression of the here and now.
