Wild Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Marlborough Greywacke

Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, the person responsible for the ground breaking early wines produced in Marlborough, who was also chief wine maker at global brand Cloudy Bay.

The name ' Greywacke ' was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard, located in Rapaura, in recognition of the prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the vineyard's soils.

' Greywacke ' is a sedimentary rock that is widely found in Marlborough, consisting of layers of hard grey sandstone and darker mudstone.

Flavours of a summer fruit salad of paw paw, honeydew melon and ripe, golden quinces - drizzled with citrus flower water and a squeeze of orange skin oil.

A delicious floral fragrance and juicy tropical fruit, infused with a fennel like herbal thread and a faint whiff of wood smoke.

Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc that is both intricate and textural with a rich, succulent palate finishing crisp and long with a flinty dryness.
