Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc

Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc is a groundbreaking and sophisticated expression from Marlborough, New Zealand, that challenges traditional perceptions of Sauvignon Blanc. Unlike its fresher, more vibrant counterparts, Te Koko undergoes wild fermentation in old oak barrels and is aged on its lees, resulting in remarkable texture and complexity. This process eschews the classic herbaceous notes for an opulent profile. The nose offers rich, layered aromas of beeswax, lemon curd, and toasted nuts, leading to a palate that is full-bodied and beautifully viscous. Expect deep flavors of passion fruit, stone fruit, and a subtle flinty minerality, all framed by a savory, persistent finish. This wine is built for longevity and is an exceptional pairing for rich seafood or poultry dishes.
