How does Sauvignon Blanc 2026 taste?
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2026, is aromatic and expressive on the nose, with notes of lemon-sherbet, passionfruit, peach and grapefruit skin abound, alongside a hint of makrut lime leaf and something reminiscent of the scent of sun-warmed sand dunes.
The palate is vibrant and intense, with those same characteristic notes found on the nose now creating a concentrated core of luscious fruit, which is given balance and freshness by a dart of lively steel-cut-lemon acidity and a fresh saline tang on the finish.

Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Winemaking
How it's made
Fruit from each vineyard ferments separately before blending, a critical step in maintaining Cloudy Bay’s famous consistency. Rather than blending to make more wine, the winemakers carefully select the right grapes (from over 90 batches) for each year’s wine. This means the quantity may change, but never the quality.
