CLOUDY BAY Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750 ml

Cloudy Bay has built a reputation for refined, elegant Sauvignon blanc, and the 2017 vintage is no exception despite critical harvest conditions: lower quantities to meet high quality standards.

Cloudy Bay 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent vintage that reveals an elegant and concentrated palate with ripe, juicy stone fruit and lemongrass, supported by a lovely minerality. Its crisp acidity leads to a mouth-watering and persistent finish suggesting a Sauvignon Blanc that will age well.

Paired with

Keta salmon maki.
Keta is the last variety of wild salmon to live in the Pacific Ocean and it is considered as a noble fish in Japan. It must live an average of three years to offer up its fine flavour. A low fat content makes it ideal for raw preparations. A combination with rice in a maki provides texture while a pairing with vibrant Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, reveals its intense aromas.

Asparagus with balsamic vinaigrette.
Grown right next to the Oregon vineyards, asparagus is the first vegetable to declare the spring season open. A crisp and dynamic Sauvignon Blanc will provide a nice contrast to the sharp vegetable smell and smooth texture of the asparagus. The wine also offers a fresh grass aroma that reminds us of the asparagus’ smell. Pour a trickle of balsamic vinaigrette as sole seasoning.
