Tasting note

風味筆記：開瓶即現明亮柑橘與熱帶果香，伴隨醃青果與一抹花香，還有些微青草與豆莢氣息；口感圓潤、有奶油般貼舌的質地，但酸度鮮明，尾韻帶細緻粉礫和鹹感，飲來既活潑又討喜。 酒莊與田間：這款為知名馬爾堡產區的代表性酒款，出自瓦羅谷（Wairau Valley）一帶的數片葡萄園（Estate、Motukawa、Widow’s Block、Red Shed、Mustang），礫石地質、排水良好，加上海洋影響的氣候，讓果實既能成熟又保有清爽酸度。酒莊現為 LVMH 旗下，強調品質與穩定性。 釀造概述：採收後以自由流汁冷卻沈澱再過桶，選用人工接種酵母發酵為主，近5% 在大型橡木槽較高溫發酵，另有一部分以野生酵母完成發酵以增加口感層次。整體不經小桶成熟，使用旋蓋封瓶以保存香氣與新鮮感。 飲用建議：冷飲最佳，開瓶短醒約15分鐘可更快展現香氣。配清爽的山羊乳酪、海鮮前菜或帶香草與酸度的亞洲菜最合拍。

Tasting note: Bright and immediate on the nose with vivid citrus (lime, grapefruit) and stone/soft fruit (peach, nectarine) wrapped around juicy gooseberry and a hint of elderflower. There is an herbaceous whisper of green bean and fresh grass, while the palate feels surprisingly generous — creamy in texture yet driven by lively acidity and a chalky, saline-tinged finish. Producer notes: This is the 40th consecutive vintage from a renowned Marlborough estate now under LVMH ownership. Fruit is drawn largely from Wairau Valley sites — Estate, Motukawa, Widow’s Block, Red Shed and Mustang — that produce expressive, free-draining fruit. Winemaking: After harvest the free-run juice was cold-settled, racked and inoculated with selected yeasts. Fermentation was carried out mainly in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with almost 5% fermented at warmer temperatures in large-format oak vats; a portion also underwent wild-yeast fermentation to add texture and complexity. The wine is unoaked overall and sealed under screwcap to retain aromatic lift. Vineyard notes: Vineyards on the Wairau Valley floor sit on gravelly, free-draining soils with a maritime-influenced climate that accentuates ripeness while keeping acidity bright. The result is a wine that balances immediate drinkability with enough structure for short-term cellaring. Serve lightly chilled; short decanting (around 15 minutes) will open up the aromas. Excellent with fresh goat cheeses, seafood starters and bright, herb-forward Asian dishes.

雲霧之灣酒莊（Cloudy Bay Vineyards）是馬爾堡區的代表性酒莊，多年來以海岸風格、香氣豐富的白酒聞名。酒莊目前為 LVMH 旗下，維持既有的優良葡園與現代化釀造手法：細緻的汁液處理、以不鏽鋼發酵保留清新，以及少量大型橡木與野生酵母用以增添口感層次。

Cloudy Bay Vineyards - a Marlborough benchmark with decades of experience producing coastal, aromatic whites. Now part of the LVMH group, the estate combines long-established vineyard sites on the Wairau Valley floor with modern winemaking: careful juice handling, mostly stainless-steel fermentation, and selective use of large oak and wild yeasts to add texture.
