Taste the Day

Cloudy Bay winemaker Tim Heath is putting a “sense of [Marlborough] in every bottle” and DC Examiner reporter Scott Greenberg “can literally taste the New Zealand sunshine in [his] glass”. Heath – a tall, athletically built Australian native – exercises great care to make sure that he takes full advantage of the natural “gifts” in the region, paying particular attention to detail in order to bring out the pure, refreshing flavours and astonishing freshness afforded by the climate and soils of Marlborough. He earned his degree in oenology at the University of Adelaide, where he completed an honours project that investigated the permeability of cork – which is why Tim is now a proponent of screw caps.
