How does Te Koko 2016 taste?
The 2016 Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is concentrated and complex. The nose is a pleasure of white peach, preserved citrus and tropical vibrance. Its expressive and vibrant palate welcomes the tongue with ripe stone fruits and citrus intensity. Given time in the glass, the wine opens out to reveal guava and rambutan. Long, lingering notes of orchard fruit and a pleasing burst of freshness make the next sip a certainty.

Te Koko 2016 Winemaking
How it's made
Te Koko ferments in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, gaining complexity over four to five months under the watchful eye of our winemaking team. The wine then rests in barrel on fine lees for 15 months before blending and maturation in Cloudy Bay’s cellars.
