Handford Wines

Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by David Hohnen of Cape Mentelle, Western Australia. Both have since been bought by Veuve Clicquot. The winery has enjoyed amazing success and is sold, in the northern hemisphere, by allocation. It takes its name from the bay at the extremity of the valley, named by Captain Cook on his voyage to New Zealand in 1770. Much of the planting was done in 1986, on the 60 hectares available, and so the vines are now mature. Grapes are sourced from elsewhere in the Marlborough region too.

The Wine

Crisp fresh citrus notes of lemon, limes and grapefruit dominate this beautifully balanced wine. Lovely concentrated fruit perfectly integrated with oak make for a serious mouthful with oat and toasted nut nuances. A wine that has gone from strength to strength over the past 4 or 5 vintages.
