Occasional Wine Note: This is Cloudy Bay's flagship Sauvignon Blanc and a great example of just how good New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc can be. Aromatic, fresh, citrusy, mineraly, with a touch of salinity, lively but not overpowering acidity. Refreshing delivered!

Tangy, pure, lightly smoky and creamy nose with ripe golden berries, quince and caramelized apples. A hint of wet stones, too. Quite bright, flavorful and concentrated on the palate with remarkable intensity and a long yet fresh and mineral finish. A fresh, complex sauvignon blanc that is densely packed with flavors. Impressive length.

Intense, concentrated and aromatic, this mouthwatering white is fresh and lively, with crisp Key lime pie and graham cracker notes followed by details of lemon blossoms, honeysuckle and lemon verbena. Shows a simultaneously supple and sleek body, with a savory sea salt note and the slightest hint of flint lingering on the finish.
