'It's been nearly 35 years since the Australian David Hohnen and British-born Kevin Judd created the world-renowned Cloudy Bay. The price may have gone up, but this is still a fantastic drop, with fresh notes of gooseberry and lime and a long mineral finish.' - Will Lyons, The Sunday Times
'Stylish and generous, exhibiting a complex array of flavours, from white grapefruit and lemon curd to candied ginger, lemon verbena, honeysuckle and lime zest. Achieves elegance, power and refreshment in lovely harmony.' - Wine Spectator
