Cloudy Bay - Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc 2020
A Taste of New Zealand's Finest Clouds
Hailing from the renowned Marlborough region of New Zealand, this wine stands out for its distinctive character and complexity.
It offers a departure from traditional Sauvignon Blanc styles, showcasing a combination of ripe fruit flavors, subtle oak influence, and a creamy texture.
Compared to other Sauvignon Blancs, Te Koko stands out for its barrel fermentation and aging, which contribute to its richness and complexity.
Cloudy Bay Te Koko is crafted using grapes sourced from select vineyard sites in Marlborough. The grapes undergo a unique fermentation process, including wild yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, a departure from the stainless steel tanks typically used for Sauvignon Blanc. This unconventional approach allows the wine to develop complexity, texture, and layers of flavor, while still maintaining the varietal's characteristic freshness.
Cloudy Bay, established in 1985, is located in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, renowned for its vibrant Sauvignon Blancs. The winery's name pays homage to the nearby bay, known for its cloudy skies and stunning landscapes. Producing around 250,000 cases annually, Cloudy Bay is recognized for its pioneering role in establishing New Zealand as a premier wine-producing region.
The 2020 vintage has received widespread acclaim, earning scores of 90+ points from esteemed publications such as Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast.
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including grilled seafood, roasted chicken with herbs, or creamy pasta with shellfish.
