Cloudy Bay Te Koko 2019

Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first wine makers to venture into Marlborough. Cloudy Bay’s founder - David Hohnen - was convinced of its potential to produce great wine and invested in the best land of the region. `Te Koko` is a sophisticated style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc made through wild fermentation and aging in old French oak. The 2019 vintage is serious, subtle and complex. The nose is nuanced, with citrus, stone fruits and savoury notes of soft wood smoke. The palate is textural, layered and interesting. Mellow oak and mineral characters are balanced by the vibrant acidity and freshness of citrus and conference pear. A long and elegant finish draws together this dense and powerful wine.
