Learn more about Cloudy Bay
The visionary behind Cloudy Bay’s inception is Australian winemaker David Hohnen. Drawing inspiration from the bay that graces the vineyard’s eastern edge, he orchestrated the debut of Cloudy Bay’s inaugural vintage of Sauvignon Blanc in the very same year of its establishment.
Infused with an unwavering commitment to sustainable viticulture practices and meticulous vineyard stewardship, Cloudy Bay remains a master in crafting peerless Sauvignon Blanc wines. As the passage of time unfurled, their repertoire flourished, embracing an array of varietals, including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) acquired Cloudy Bay from its original owner, the Australian winery Cape Mentelle. Cape Mentelle was part of the Estate Brands group before LVMH acquired the entire Estate Brands portfolio, including Cloudy Bay, in the early 2000s.
