First released in 1986, the striking aromatic, fine structure and crisp acidity of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc immediately captured the imagination of wine lovers the world over. I am old enough to remember when it first landed on our shores and the clamour it caused. You simply could not open up a wine magazine for some time afterwards without this wine being mentioned. Many years later, Cloudy Bay is still producing superb wines and regarded as the benchmark producer of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
