Cloudy Bay
Cloudy Bay is an iconic wine producer from New Zealand, widely known for helping to elevate the reputation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc on the global stage. Founded in 1985 by David Hohnen, Cloudy Bay was one of the first wineries to establish itself in the Marlborough region, which is now considered one of the world's premier areas for Sauvignon Blanc production. The winery is named after the bay at the eastern tip of New Zealand's South Island, where early European explorers, including Captain James Cook, made landfall.
Cloudy Bay’s Sauvignon Blanc is its flagship wine, celebrated for its vibrant and aromatic profile. It features bright, zesty flavors of citrus, passion fruit, and gooseberry, with an underlying minerality and a crisp, clean finish. The wine’s balance of intense fruit character and refreshing acidity has made it a benchmark for the Sauvignon Blanc variety worldwide. While Cloudy Bay is best known for this varietal, the winery also produces other notable wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a sparkling wine called Pelorus, each reflecting the unique terroir of the Marlborough region.
Cloudy Bay’s success has not only bolstered New Zealand’s reputation in the global wine industry but has also set a high standard for winemaking excellence in the region. The brand's commitment to sustainability, innovation, and expressing the purity of the fruit has earned it a loyal following among wine enthusiasts around the world.
