Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc

  • Sauvignon Blanc
  • New Zealand Marlborough

Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, an early pioneer in Marlborough winemaking whose ground-breaking wines helped put this small New Zealand region on the world wine map. The name ‘Greywacke’ was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard in Rapaura, nodding to the prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the vineyard’s soils. ‘Greywacke’ is a sedimentary rock widely found in Marlborough, consisting of hard grey sandstone and darker mudstone layers.

Greywacke’s signature ‘Wild Sauvignon’ is arguably Kevin Judd’s flagship white wine. This alternative New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc style is fermented in old oak barrels using indigenous yeast.

On the nose, the wine is bright and complex, with notes of lychee, mango, white blossoms, tarragon and thyme. The palate is succulent and intricate with flavours of ripe gooseberry, tangerine, and sandalwood. A bright acidity and a hint of saltiness carry through to the generous and textured finish.
