Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
An iconic wine from New Zealand's most iconic winery. Atypical for Kiwi Sauvignon, the Te Koko is fermented using indigenous 'wild' yeasts, and subjected to batonnage as it ages in oak. Released as a three year old wine, this is unlike anything else from New Zealand!
Taste
Lychees and almonds with classic gooseberry notes and a hint of wood smoke. A full bodied palate of citrus fruits with the richer flavours of caramel and nougat, leading to a crisp yet spicy finish.
Enjoy
Able to age for up to five years, this wine an ideal partner to tuna, oysters and poached fish.

    Not your usual NZ Sauvignon Blanc

    Three reliable guidelines for Sauvignon Blanc are: go for New Zealand, prefer Marlborough & the younger the better. Only two apply here. This wine, by Cloudy Bay is at its best when matured for a few years. Don't expect the usual N.Z. S.V. taste and don't be put off by your first sip. When I met it for the first time, at the start I thought "what's all the fuss about". As I sipped on, I found out. It has a complexity of flavours beyond me to describe, but delightful to explore. I prefer to drink it on its own, not with food and to set time aside to enjoy it. Drink it cool, but not cold.
