2019 Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc [JS95][WS93]

"Pristine aromas of sliced limes, lemons, green melon and hints of lemon grass follow through to a full body with dense fruit, yet framed by a lightly phenolic texture that holds the whole thing together, tightening the fruit in the center-palate. Beautiful finish. One of the best ever." 

"Intense and focused, with wonderful purity and sophistication to the fresh yuzu, vetevier, sea salt, Meyer lemon and fresh grated ginger flavors. Sleek and mouthwatering, while the intensity continues to gain on the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Te Koko 2019 is serious, subtle and complex. The nose is nuanced, with citrus, stone fruits and savoury notes of soft woodsmoke. The palate is textural, layered and interesting. Mellow oak and mineral characters are balanced by the vibrant acidity and freshness of citrus and conference pear. A long and elegant finish draws together this dense and powerful wine, one that honours the original vision of making a truly unique Sauvignon Blanc."
