LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

It’s popular for a reason. It is consistently vibrant and captures the essence of summer in a glass.

The Library Note

Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay defined the 'Kiwi style' of Sauvignon Blanc: zest, passionfruit, and cut grass. It became an instant global sensation and remains the standard by which all other New World Sauvignon Blancs are judged.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Pungent and tropical. Passionfruit, lime zest, and fresh grapefruit.

Mouthwatering acidity.
