Cloudy Bay is credited with catapulting Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc onto the world’s stage decades ago. Well, it turns out, they haven’t lost the touch over the ensuing decades. The bright and balanced 2022 has the typical tang associated with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc coupled with good depth, so it avoids the pitfall of being a one-trick pony. The enticing texture keeps it enticing throughout the meal. Try it with a hefty cut of grilled swordfish.
