Cloudy Bay

Located in New Zealand’s Marlborough region, in the north of the South Island, the Cloudy Bay vineyard spans approximately 200 hectares. Most of Cloudy Bay’s wines are therefore made from the estate’s own grapes, with the remainder sourced from partner growers. The estate primarily produces Sauvignon Blanc, as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir—the latter used in particular for traditional method winemaking—and a small amount of Riesling.

Founded in 1985 by two Australians from the renowned Cape Mentelle winery in Margaret River, Cloudy Bay—named after the bay at the far end of the Wairau Valley—is now owned by the French group LVMH.
