New Sauvignon Blanc by Cloudy Bay founder David Hohnen

The founder of Cloudy Bay, David Hohnen, has released a new Sauvignon Blanc brand in collaboration with the Marlborough Grape Growers Co-operative that aims to ‘redefine’ the category.

The new brand, Marlborough Heartland, is a new venture that embodies the spirit of Marlborough’s vineyards and the ethos of its growers.

It’s a partnership that sees a return to the ‘original heartland’ of Marlborough, something which David Hohnen has been longing to do for years, he said.

The co-op’s farmers have vineyards throughout the Marlborough heartland, in the lower valleys of the Wairau, Awatere, and Waihopai.

The combination of careful plot selection and precision winemaking creates this intense and flavourful style, bursting with zesty gooseberry and lime notes, it claims.

Marlborough Heartland Sauvignon Blanc 75cl launches in 419 Sainsbury’s Supermarkets retailing for £12.50 a bottle.
