Grape

Chardonnay

Origin
Cloudy Bay is a cult wine and, clever marketing aside, there is no denying the quality of this Chardonnay. A cool climate location and lots of sunshine means long, slow ripening - a recipe for success with Chardonnay.
Taste
A complex nose that ranges from figs and lemon butter to more savoury elements of fresh hay with hints of butterscotch. The palate is substantial and rounded with toasty complexity and a long finish.
Enjoy
Eminently drinkable now but it will reward those with the patience to age the wine for a further 3 to 4 years.

    The only dry white I will drink

    I was indroduced to this wine by a Kwi ~ 11 years ago, and have never looked back. Thankfully the days of hunting a bottle down have gone, theses days I can find a case rather than a single bottle 300miles away, quite readly. yes it is that good! hours scouring the internet and e-mailing people to see if they still had stock. The flavour due to a loss sence of smell, is something very personal to me the fact I can taste it at all is worth its weight in gold to me

    Smooth in a light style

    Good quality chardonnay from CB more famous for their Sauvignon Blanc. This is not a full oaky white. It is in a lighter style with an apple-like fruitiness and balanced acidity. Not sure it's worth £25.
