Scented and summery, the 2008 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc has deliciously vibrant aromatics that infuse the tropical fragrance of fresh passion fruit and juicy pineapples with garden-fresh basil and the spiciness of crushed tomato leaves. The palate is long and succulent, combining exotic fruits with ripe, red capsicum and a twist of green olive??beautifully complemented by crisp natural acidity and a hint of lime zest. This much sort-after wine combines brilliantly with fresh flavours, in particular Asian inspired cuisine such as lemongrass, mild chilli, fresh coriander, basil and shell fish.
