Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2025: Bright and Beautifully Balanced

Ayako Hirano — Summer in a glass

8/10

Picked this up for a barbecue last weekend and it was a massive hit. Really zingy and fresh with loads of citrus and tropical fruit — went down dangerously easy in the sunshine. At £26.50 it's not an everyday bottle but definitely one I'd grab again for a nice occasion.

Lena Petrova — Good but is it worth £27?

6/10

It's a solid Sauvignon Blanc, crisp and refreshing with nice peach and pear flavours. But honestly for nearly £27 I expected something a bit more special. You can get really decent NZ Sauv Blancs for half that. Would drink it again happily if someone else was buying though.

Olivia Wong — Lovely with seafood

7/10

The guy at our local wine shop recommended this and I'm glad he did. There's a slightly salty mineral thing going on that made it absolutely perfect with the fish pie I made. Clean and bright without being too sharp. Will definitely keep this one in mind for dinner parties.
