Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml

Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

96/100 Bob Campbell MW

Cloudy Bay broke the winemaking rules to create a sophisticated style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc made through wild fermentation and ageing in old French oak. 

Producer Tasting Note:

Te Koko 2023 is initially reticent on the nose, but with time in the glass opens to reveal notes of just-ripe mango, lemon verbena and juicy sun-warmed lemon. The palate is concentrated and mouthwateringly complex. The sun-warmed impression continues, with notes of meadow hay, preserved citrus, and white nectarine, with layers of salted almond and a gentle smoky minerality leading through to a long and focused finish.

The grapes come from older vines planted on the floor of the Wairau Valley. The warm, free-draining, gravelly soils of the Motukawa, Widows Block, Mustang and Brook Street vineyards are ideal for Sauvignon Blanc.

Alc: 13%
