Cloudy Bay

Marlborough, New Zealand · 1985'den beri

Cloudy Bay was founded in 1985 by David Hohnen in New Zealand's Marlborough region, and it rapidly rose to international acclaim as one of the Southern Hemisphere's most celebrated wineries. The name pays homage to the bay christened by explorer James Cook in the 1770s, evoking a sense of wild, wind-swept discovery. Its Sauvignon Blanc almost single-handedly put New Zealand on the global wine map, delivering a vivid profile of grapefruit, passion fruit, freshly cut grass, and crisp minerality that set a new benchmark for the varietal worldwide. Now part of the LVMH portfolio, Cloudy Bay has expanded its range to include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a late harvest Riesling, while maintaining the consistent quality that first brought it fame. Marlborough's unique terroir — long sunny days, cool nights, free-draining stony soils — is the soul behind the wines' bright acidity and aromatic intensity. For wine lovers around the world, a bottle of Cloudy Bay remains a touchstone of New Zealand viticulture.
