The Wine
Since David Hohnen launched his iconic Cloudy Bay Sauvignon internationally in the 1980s, wine drinkers have been falling over themselves in the rush to get a share. Cloudy Bay remains the region’s reference for quality and is just as famous today for its Chardonnay and magnificent sparkling wine.
