Stencil artist Flox, a.k.a Hayley King, has bought Cloudy Bay’s first 2011 Sauvignon Blanc of the season to life in a 3m x 2m mural, created on board using stencils and spray paint. Inspired by the new vintage Hayley says, “The mural illustrates a symmetry of what we all know as our beautiful country Aotearoa combined with representative elements from the Cloudy Bay 2011 Sauvignon Blanc, the wine itself is pale straw green, reflected in my colour palette. The waxeye and saddleback birds are iconic New Zealand natives…the blackcurrant leaf reflects the blackcurrant notes in the wine and the wood grain gives the piece a subtle, natural feel. In the distance, the soft hues of the Cloudy Bay mountain silhouettes tie into the overall subdued and organic feel of the composition.”

26 years ago Cloudy Bay’s Sauvignon Blanc marked the beginning of a new era for the New Zealand wine industry, putting the now world famous Marlborough region on the world map and establishing Cloudy Bay as a pioneer.

Cloudy Bay brand manager Rai Banbury says, ‘We wanted to bring the first 2011 Sauvignon Blanc of the season to life in a new and pioneering way. Wine is an experience for the senses and so is art…so we felt that one could inspire the other, which led to the idea of a creative collaboration with Flox.”

Cloudy Bay 2011 Sauvignon Blanc will be available in stores on the 1st October 2011 and was launched at an exclusive tasting event last night, in a purpose built urban vineyard at Britomart.
