This Te Koko is produced by the renowned Cloudy Bay. This prestigious winery was founded in 1985, making it one of the first wineries to establish itself in the Marlborough region. In the mid-1980s, winemaking in New Zealand was still in its infancy. However, David Hohnen, the winery's founder, saw the potential of the Marlborough region, located on the northern tip of the South Island. The Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, in particular, has been a hit with wine drinkers worldwide for decades.
Cloudy Bay's Sauvignon Blanc is considered the very best Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Some wine connoisseurs even consider Cloudy Bay the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. However, Cloudy Bay Winery has done something special with this Te Koko wine. This Sauvignon Blanc is aged in oak, a truly unique process. For 12 months, the juice matures in oak, creating a distinctive aroma. Fresh, yet with a thick and full signature. Exceptional in both aroma and flavor. You'll discover blossoming jasmine, sultry spices, and distinct hints of mandarin and lemon. A slightly ginger-like sauce combined with smoked oak completes Cloudy Bay Te Koko. Enjoy it with oysters or other fresh shellfish. Cloudy Bay Te Koko also feels perfectly at home with tuna sashimi.
