Sauvignon Blanc 2024

December 3, 2024

Do you have a favourite vineyard? And why?

Widow’s Vineyard, which is the vineyard first purchased by Veuve Clicquot. It has great diversity across the vineyard, with an old stream-bed running through the site that gives a range of different soils. There are also some older vines that give us great concentration and complexity. And it’s beautiful at sunset.

What for you makes Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc special?

The attention we put into each tank. We treat every wine as if it will make the blend and try our best to make everything at the highest quality. If it’s not good enough to make the blend, it doesn’t go in.

What was different about making Sauvignon Blanc 2024?

The speed the grapes were ripening due to the warm dry summer was faster than any of us had seen before. It kept us on our feet when it came to picking decisions, but in a positive way. There was no disease or weather pressure, so we could pick what needed picking when it needed picking – it was just a bit of a guessing game sometimes as to which blocks would ripen next!

Describe the perfect pairing and setting to enjoy the Sauvignon Blanc 2024.

Somewhere remote, next to the ocean, preferably on a camping trip. A delicious pearl couscous salad with fresh pan-fried fish and a citrus dressing would be the perfect pairing!
