Cloudy Bay is a cult wine and 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.
2013 is bright with aromas of stone fruit, white chocolate and a touch of smoke. Lemon balm and green plums combine with flint and char on a fleshy palate.
Cloudy Bay Chardonnay reveals layers of attractive ripe orchard fruits and ripe peach on the nose, frame by subtle spice and gentle notes of roasted hazelnut. The palate shows a vibrant freshness, perfectly balancing the rounded nectarine and greengage fruit core. Intense and concentrated, with a long finish of juicy stone.
