Cloudy Bay Vineyards |
Cloudy Bay Vineyards was established in 1985 by David Hohnen, co-founder of Cape Mentelle Vineyards in Western Australia, and is part of Moet Hennessy Wine Estates. Cloudy Bay is a specialist producer of premium wines and together with its sister winery, shares a commitment to 'wines of region'. The winery and vineyards are situated in the Wairau Valley in Marlborough at the northern end of New Zealand's South Island. This unique and cool wine region enjoys a maritime climate and with the longest hours of sunshine of any place in New Zealand.
Cloudy Bay has 150 hectares of estate vineyards and long term supply agreements with five Wairau Valley growers. The main varieties grown are sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot noir with lesser quantities of riesling and gewurztraminer.
The winery takes its name from the bay at the eastern extremity of the Wairau Valley. It was named Cloudy Bay by Captain Cook on his voyage to New Zealand in 1770. |
