Product Description:
Precision and poise meet the Marlborough sun. Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2023 captures the tension and vitality that define New Zealand’s most celebrated wine region. Sourced from vineyards across the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the clay-rich slopes of the Southern Valleys, it reflects a deep understanding of site and craft. Each parcel is hand-picked and fermented with traditional techniques, allowing the fruit to express both richness and restraint. The result is a Chardonnay of clarity, energy and seamless balance.
Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay helped shape the identity of modern Marlborough. David Hohnen’s decision to plant vines in this then-unlikely region transformed the trajectory of New Zealand wine. Today, Cloudy Bay remains a benchmark for precision and purity, a producer whose Chardonnay continues to define the cool-climate style that first put Marlborough on the map.
