Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc GI Te Koko 2020 Cloudy Bay

Te Koko comes from some of the oldest vineyards of Cloudy Bay cultivated in Sauvignon, located within the subzones of the renowned New Zealand wine region Marlborough: Rapaura, Brancott and Renwick. From the grapes produced by these vineyards it is possible to obtain wines with a high concentration of aromas, elegant and distinctly fruity.

The sophisticated style of Cloudy Bay does not follow the practice regarding the vinification of Sauvignon Blanc. After the manual harvest that takes place in the first week of April and a soft pressing of the grapes, the must ferments in French oak barrels by indigenous yeasts. After a partial malolactic fermentation, the wine remains to refine in barrels on the fine lees.

At the sight, straw yellow, it offers hints of grapefruit and white peach, enriched with lemon cream and beeswax. In the mouth it has a lively entrance that opens to a fresh and balanced taste, with notes of candied fruit and oak on a pleasantly smoked and floral background.

Perfect with shellfish, it is indicated in the company of Asian dishes.
