Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2021 (750ML)

93 WS / 93 VM / 92 DE

Intense and fresh, with green apple, dried pineapple, candied ginger and lemon curd flavors that show a hint of ripe melon, followed by details of lemon verbena on the finish. Drink now. - Wine Spectator

The 2021 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon is a precise, focused style offering vibrant passionfruit elderflower and gooseberry fruit. This was a low-yielding vintage, and that's reflected in the intensity of concentration and aromatic richness. With mouthwatering but balanced acidity, this is really delightful, pure and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with stony sinew on the finish. Best consumed in youth for its aromatic appeal. - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous Media

Despite vintage variation, there's no denying the consistency (in quality and relative price) of this iconic wine after almost 37 years. Compared to the structured and high-acid 2020, this is a vintage to enjoy now, with a weighty, fleshy palate of gooseberry, freshly cut grass and sweet grapefruit. - Tina Gellie, Decanter
