Established in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wine makers to venture into Marlborough. Cloudy Bay broke the winemaking rules to create a sophisticated style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc made through wild fermentation and aging in old French oak. Cloudy Bay’s pioneering expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is evolving in unison with the age of their vines. Each year brings an additional nuance of complexity. Senior Winemaker Tim Heath Said "One of the exciting things about Te Koko is that over the years we have honed our winemaking approach to focus on particular vineyard blocks that deliver the desired style of grapes". Te Koko is an aromatic, savoury and complex wine.
