Cloudy Bay
Cloudy Bay
Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by David Hohnen and took its name from the large bay that skirts the Marlborough region`s eastern edge. Cloudy Bay has over 148 acres of vineyards planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir. The estate also sources grapes from elsewhere in the Marlborough region, under the belief that the future success of specialist wineries lies in the production of high quality wines from varieties best suited to specific regions. Cloudy Bay’s emphasis is placed on the individual fruit character and the development of a recognisable estate wine style. Cloudy Bay`s success can be attributed to its groundbreaking Sauvignon Blanc, as well as its distinctive labels, which reflect the skyline of the nearby Richmond Ranges.
