Cloudy Bay TeKoko Sauvignon Blanc 2011

The reference for Marlborough, a region located in the north of New Zealand's South Island, Cloudy Bay was founded in 1985 by David Hohnen and has belonged to the LVMH luxury group since 2003. With the majestic Richmond mountain range as its backdrop, Cloudy Bay's vineyard extends for 200 hectares along the entry to the bay that gave the winery its name. They concentrate on growing New Zealand's flagship variety, Sauvignon Blanc. In 2015, they will celebrate 30 years of avant-garde spirit.

«The 2011 Te Koko opens with ... a core of lemon tart, pineapple and pink grapefruit, plus a touch of baking bread. Medium-bodied with a lovely satiny texture, it fills the mouth with classic barrel-fermented Sauvignon fruit flavors supported by toasty accents before finishing with a great persistence of grapefruit pip and bitter-almond-laced layers.»
