      Precision and poise meet the Marlborough sun. Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2023 captures the tension and vitality that define New Zealand’s most celebrated wine region. Sourced from vineyards across the stony soils of Wairau Valley and the clay-rich slopes of the Southern Valleys, it reflects a deep understanding of site and craft. Each parcel is hand-picked and fermented with traditional techniques, allowing the fruit to express both richness and restraint. The result is a Chardonnay of clarity, energy and seamless balance.

      Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay helped shape the identity of modern Marlborough. David Hohnen’s decision to plant vines in this then-unlikely region transformed the trajectory of New Zealand wine. Today, Cloudy Bay remains a benchmark for precision and purity, a producer whose Chardonnay continues to define the cool-climate style that first put Marlborough on the map.

      Bright and clear with aromas of dried apple, stone and mineral tones. Medium body with tangy acidity and nougat-like texture, finishing with lime and cooked-apple notes

      — James Suckling — 92 Points

      Ripe and generously oaked with notes of vanilla, coconut, baking spice and toasted nut over nectarine and peach fruit. Fresh and focused with real precision

      — Vinous — 91 Points

      A restrained, carefully layered modern Chardonnay with tightly woven flavours of grapefruit, flint, white peach and subtle spice. Elegant and innately complex, with fine balance and promise for mid-term cellaring
