Cloudy Bay
Scented and summery, the 2008 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc has deliciously vibrant aromatics that infuse the tropical fragrance of fresh passionfruit and juicy pineapples with garden-fresh basil and the spiciness of crushed tomato leaves. The palate is long and succulent, combining exotic fruits with ripe, red capsicum and a twist of green olive... beautifully complemented by crisp natural acidity and a hint of lime zest. Food Matches: Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc combines beautifully with fresh, light flavours. Asian-inspired cuisine is ideal, in particular lemongrass, mild chilli, fresh coriander, and basil, support the wine's pure fruit flavours. The quintessential regional match is with Marlborough greenshell mussels.
Wine Spectator
Light and tart, with a zip to the acidity that carries the vivid, celery-tinged gooseberry and lime flavors, lingering impressively on the sharply focused finish. Drink now.
