Buy Wine from Cloudy Bay Vineyards
Located in the heart of Rapaura, New Zealand, Cloudy Bay Vineyards is an emblem of New Zealand viticulture. Founded in 1985, this winery founded by David Hohnen has been a pioneer in the production of high quality wines in the Marlborough region.
Vineyards
Marlborough, Cloudy Bay's first home in New Zealand, is divided into three distinct wine regions: Awatere Valley, known for its minerality and freshness; Southern Valleys, with clay soils and the region's first vineyards; and Wairau Valley, the place that attracted David Hohnen. The latter has a warm, dry maritime climate and stony soils that facilitate a slow ripening process, resulting in wines with pungent aromas. Although Marlborough started with just a few hectares of vineyards in the 1970s, today it covers around 27,000 hectares, representing more than 60% of all vineyards in New Zealand. Cloudy Bay farms 163 vineyard parcels and works with 65 producer blocks. The stony, sandy soils near the Wairau River are ideal for the iconic Sauvignon Blanc, while south of the river in the Southern Valleys, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards thrive in heavy clay soils.
Philosophy
Cloudy Bay's philosophy focuses on pure expression of terroir. They believe that winemakers deserve credit for the quality of the wines, but it is the climate and terroir that lay the foundation. The winery strives to produce wines that reflect the unique character of Marlborough, taking advantage of the climate and soil conditions to create intense, fresh and expressive wines. Cloudy Bay's Sauvignon Blanc, for example, is characterised by purity, vibrancy and concentration of stone fruit, citrus and subtle tropical characters. In addition, the winery also has a focus on sustainability and social responsibility.
