Chardonnay by Cloudy Bay is made in the sunny areas of Marlborough, New Zealand, from four parcels of vineyards located in four sub-zones: Brancott, Fairhall, Ben Morven and the Central Wairau Valley. After aging for about a year in French oak barrels, a powerful and exotic white of great finesse and incisive character is obtained. It encompasses the features of the land and the sea, being at the same time fresh and sunny, energetic and delicate. Fruity tones reminiscent of lemon and apple and floral tones of orange blossom, set against a mineral background. Freshness and balance with structure and personality, very intriguing.

Located between the Pacific Ocean and the Richmond Range mountains, this piece of land offers a truly extraordinary landscape. Cloudy Bay, one of the first estates in the Marlborough region, has contributed enormously to making New Zealand one of the most important wine producing areas of the "New World". The sense of detail is a crucial strength for the estate and is one of the values that have contributed to the exceptional nature of its wines. In the production process Cloudy Bay takes into consideration a variety of aspects, not least the environmental impact. This is why sustainable development has always played a fundamental role within the company.
