Cloudy Bay welcomed 40 guests from global markets to Marlborough in February, for the release of its 40th vintage Sauvignon Blanc.
"It's a celebration of four decades of passion, innovation, and commitment," says Wine Director Nikolai St George, noting the wine's huge influence in shaping Cloudy Bay and the Marlborough region's global reputation. "We're thrilled to share this exceptional vintage with our guests as we look toward the future."
Kat Mason, Communications Manager at Cloudy Bay Vineyards, says from "humble beginnings", when winemakers David Hohnen and Kevin Judd launched Cloudy Bay in 1985, the brand has become a recognised leader in premium winemaking. "Our success is testament to the passion and dedication of everyone who has been part of our journey."
The visitors, including David Hohnen, took a deep dive into Cloudy Bay's culture, with a multi-day educational and immersion experience, culminating in a celebration at the winery site on 28 February. It's an "incredibly special milestone", says Estate Director Yang Chen. "And we couldn't be more thrilled to mark this momentous occasion."
