Cloudy Bay is the New Zealand wine reference and the most internationally acclaimed brand. It is one of the first five wineries from Marlborough, New Zealand's finest wine region (at the northernmost tip of the South Island). and takes its name from the "Cloudy Bay" to the east, which Captain Cook discovered. As a pioneer, Cloudy Bay has definitely put the Marlborough wine region on the map. Marlborough's cool, maritime climate is interspersed with plenty of sun. Long sunny days and cool nights provide beautiful aromas and power in the taste.

The emperor or empress among the wines of Cloudy Bay is the Te Koko. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from a very old vineyard. As with very old vineyards, the yield is often very low, but the quality is extremely good. For this reason, very old vineyards are often replaced by young vines that give a higher production but fortunately not with these vineyards located in Rapaura, Brancott and Renwick because here are high-quality grapes that are used for this Te Koko. The grapes for this wine come from four Cloudy Bay vineyards and are picked at night for optimal fruit intensity. In addition, this Te Koko has had a long wood education of 12 months and this gives a full, thick, slightly fat wine but with beautiful acids, beautiful (citrus) fruit, jasmine flowers and sweet spices and hints of ginger. | On the palate the wine is full bodied, creamy in the palate and the finish is very subtle but present smoky oak and touch of vanilla.
