Blend and Origin
Cloudy Bay Te Koko 2013
The grapes used to create Te Koko 2013 were harvested from some of the oldest vines on the Cloudy Bay estate – in Rapaura, Brancott and Renwick. The fruit was picked during the night to preserve its fresh flavours. Fermentation in French oak barrels (8% new), partial malolactic fermentation and 18-month barrel maturation on lees adds complexity and texture.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
Food pairing:
Asian spices and seafood complement this wine’s vibrancy
Starter
The fresh fruitiness and bright acidity of Te Koko 2013 make it a perfect pairing for seafood. Try pan-seared scallops, salmon tartare or sesame-crusted tuna with a ginger-miso dressing.
Main
Crab with a hint of ginger will pair excellently, as will Thai green curry, with Te Koko softening the spiciness of these dishes.
