Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
In stock
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc shows Marlborough in a very recognisable way: bright, aromatic and driven by crisp citrus freshness, with ripe fruit held in check by a clean, saline edge. Much of the fruit comes from vineyards on the Wairau Valley floor, where free-draining gravelly soils play an important role in shaping this Sauvignon Blanc style.
Most of the fermentation takes place in stainless steel, keeping the wine focused and expressive. A small part of the blend is treated differently, with fermentation in oak and some wild yeast influence, adding texture and extra depth without taking away the wine's lively, citrus-led identity.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a white wine with real gastronomic appeal. It sits beautifully alongside seafood, (…)Cloudy Bay Chardonnay

Cloudy Bay Chardonnay
In stock
Cloudy Bay Chardonnay shows a broader, more textured side of Marlborough. The wine brings together fruit from several vineyards, selected for the way their soils complement each other. The warmer, stony soils of the Wairau Valley contribute ripeness, while the cooler clay soils of the Southern Valleys help keep the wine poised and elegant.
After gentle pressing, the juice is transferred to French oak barriques and larger vessels, followed by 11 months of maturation before blending. There is a measured use of new oak, giving the wine depth without pushing the fruit into the background. Malolactic fermentation adds roundness and texture, while the wine retains a clear line of freshness.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of dry white Chardonnay we like (…)Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir
In stock
Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir shows a particularly thoughtful side of Marlborough. The fruit comes from selected Pinot Noir vineyards in the South Wairau Valley, including the notable Barracks vineyard, where old alluvial gravel and dense clay help shape the wine's depth, freshness and fruit expression.
The winemaking is gentle and deliberate. Fruit is moved by gravity into open fermenters, with a small whole-bunch component and extended skin contact. Ageing for 11 months in French oak, partly new, adds structure and quiet support rather than pushing the wine into an overtly oak-led style.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of New Zealand Pinot Noir we like to introduce to customers who want clarity of origin as well as charm in the glass: juicy fruit, fine (…)Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc

Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc
In stock
Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc shows a more layered side of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Rather than focusing only on immediate aromatic brightness, Te Koko is shaped through barrel fermentation, indigenous yeasts and time on fine lees, giving this dry white wine a broader texture and a more savoury feel.
The fruit comes from the Wairau Valley, from older vines grown on warm, free-draining gravel soils. Recent producer information mentions Motukawa, Widow's Block, Estate and Brook Street among the vineyard sources for Te Koko. French oak barrels, large wooden cuves, concrete and later stainless steel all play a role in building a style that is less about pure primary fruit and more about depth, tension and mouthfeel.
