Details
A powerful wine that encapsulates all that is unique about sauvignon blanc. Serious, subtle and complex, Te Koko 2019 offers nuanced aromas and a multi-textured palate balancing fresh acidity with softer oak tones.
Te Koko comes from the older vines planted on the floor of the Wairau Valley. The ripe fruit – the earliest sauvignon blanc harvest in the 34 years since Cloudy Bay was founded – yielded a delicately balanced yet vigorous wine.

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Balanced complexity
The early 2019 sauvignon blanc harvest yielded deliciously concentrated fruit, which was gently pressed then transferred to French oak barrels for slow fermentation.
After resting in barrel on fine lees for 11 months, the wine was blended then aged in concrete tanks lined with stainless steel, and large-format wooden cuves for a less oxidative approach, creating its complex layers and acid profile.
