Few wines have shaped the global reputation of a grape quite like Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, the Marlborough pioneer that helped redefine Sauvignon Blanc for wine lovers around the world. First released in 1985, Cloudy Bay rapidly became the benchmark for the vibrant, intensely aromatic style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc—and remains one of the most sought-after and recognisable white wines on the planet.

The newly released 2025 vintage continues that legacy in superb form, delivering the unmistakable clarity, purity and freshness that have made this wine a modern classic. The growing season demanded patience from the Cloudy Bay team, with an extended ripening period allowing the fruit to develop exceptional flavour and balance, ultimately producing a beautifully poised expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

In the glass the wine is brilliantly expressive, opening with aromas of elderflower, peach, makrut lime and freshly squeezed lemon, followed by a vibrant palate layered with white nectarine, citrus and saline minerality, all lifted by mouth-watering acidity and finishing with the elegant freshness that defines Cloudy Bay.

Critics have already praised the vintage as another benchmark release from Marlborough. Wine Spectator awards the wine 93 points, noting its fragrant concentration of lemongrass, pineapple and lemon curd with an expressive, lingering finish, while James Suckling scores the wine 92 points, highlighting its vivid citrus, herbs and lively acidity. Another early review calls it a “crisp, textural and delicious” example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with elderflower, citrus and passionfruit notes.
