Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1985, Cloudy Bay was among the first to reveal Marlborough’s extraordinary potential. Each vineyard block is harvested and fermented separately, allowing over 90 small lots to be blended into perfect harmony. The resulting wine is a pristine expression of its terroir — the gravelly soils of the Wairau Valley and the cool, coastal breezes that gift freshness and poise. Under LVMH stewardship, Cloudy Bay continues to set the benchmark for world-class Sauvignon Blanc.
