Look for tropical aromas of guava and mango with hints of ripe lime and sweet herbs followed by a juicy palate, combining concentrated flavours with a mineral acidity that leaves a long, fresh, intense finish. Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc matches well with fresh, lighter fare. Asian-inspired cuisine is ideal, in particular lemongrass, mild chili, fresh coriander and basil. The quintessential regional match is Marlborough greenshell mussels.
Wine Spectator
Tangerine, mango and citrus flavors are pure and focused, smooth, round and wonderfully refreshing, with peach, Key lime pie, mineral and floral elements that really take off on the finish.
Score: 92.

The Bay is back! This bold, fruit-driven offering is the best Cloudy Bay Savvy in at least a few vintages, with subtle leafy shadings layered over tropical fruit and adding complexity to the long, fresh finish.
Score: 91.
