Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc White

Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc White is a remarkable wine that ferments in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, gaining a unique complexity over four to five months. The wine then rests in the barrels on fine lees for 15 months, followed by blending and maturation in Cloudy Bay’s cellars.

Te Koko is initially restrained on the nose but unfolds with subtle notes of tropicality, honey, and graphite. The palate is extraordinarily complete, featuring complex layers of peach, preserved citrus, and toasted nuts. A fine line of acidity and enticing saline minerality balance the intense fruit core, providing a clean, palate-cleansing finish.

Te Koko invites exploration and offers unexpected and provocative pairings with a wide range of cuisines. It pairs exceptionally well with Chinese-style crispy pork belly, vibrant spicy dishes, or smoked salmon.
