Blend and Origin
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Periods of rain in the latter half of the growing season raised concerns about the 2018 harvest. However, diligent management in the vineyards ensured that, while yields were low, the grapes developed ripe flavours and ideal concentration and acidity. Matured in a mix of stainless steel, French oak and large-format vats, this vintage is characterised by its vibrancy.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.

Starter

Main
Wild-caught salmon, grilled or baked and served simply with lemon and herbs, will allow the fine flavours and aromas of this vintage to shine through.
