Cloudy Bay - Malborough Sauvignon blanc 2023
93/100
James Suckling
"One of New Zealand's finest Sauvignon Blancs, from an exceptional terroir!"
“Typical aromas of guava, grass, and flint, with a hint of green melon. Medium-bodied, it offers a solid fruit intensity, a lovely pale color, and good acidity. Very well made for this vintage. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2024) • Screw cap
