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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"929\"\u003eEstablished 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"948\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"951\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"959\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"962\"\u003e – Stone Fruit \u0026amp; Citrus\u003cbr data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"987\"\u003e Lifted aromas of nectarine, pear and lemon citrus layered with subtle notes of nutty oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003e – Sleek \u0026amp; Mineral\u003cbr data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003e Bright acidity carries flavours of white peach, apricot and green apple, supported by a fine line of minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1348\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003e – Long \u0026amp; Focused\u003cbr data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003e A clean, lingering finish of citrus and biscuit notes with a savoury, textural close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:0c67d57f-73d4-42c4-8d8f-e8f1e4987d5f-46\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-8\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"9ed2d073-a3cc-4df0-8c56-855f4bb2c14c\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"230\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"23\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"26\"\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"199\"\u003e“Bright and clear with aromas of dried apple, stone and mineral tones.
