96 POINTS | NZ Wine Rater
Cloudy Bay's 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is intense, concentrated and focused with mouthwatering acidity that gives structure and textural intrigue to the palate. It is a hallmark expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
The winery writes "The palate is deliciously concentrated and tropical, underpinned by nectarine and blossoms. Saline notes bring structure, while passionfruit and vibrant citrus acidity bring balance. The compelling finish encourages you to take another sip, and then another. It also hints at the rewards of keeping a bottle aside for a future."
NZ Wine Rater writes "Wow, a classic, where the aromas seem to leap from the glass. There's passionfruit flower, red capsicum, citrus peel, Thai basil, lemon verbena and a distinctive smoky note. A powerful wine with excellent concentration, length and drive, vivacious, tangy freshness and a long, saline finish. A benchmark wine."
