Cloudy Bay - Te Koko - Sauvignon Blanc - 2020
Cloudy Bay Te Koko sets a new style for Sauvignon Blanc. It’s sophisticated and complex, providing provocative pairings with a wide variety of cuisine. Wild yeasts and extended barrel fermentation unlock intriguing aromas and tastes, with white peach, intense citrus and tropical fruits like guava and rambutan. Crafted from just four parcels of older vines in the Wairau Valley floor, Te Koko is the ultimate expression of Cloudy Bay’s terroir.
Te Koko 2020 is initially closed on the nose but unfurls with notes of subtle tropicality, honey and graphite. The palate is extraordinarily complete, with complex layers of peach, preserved citrus and toasted nuts. A fine line of acidity and an enticing saline minerality balance the intense core of fruit and provide a fresh, palate-cleansing finish.
