Greywacke, founded by celebrated winemaker Kevin Judd in Marlborough, New Zealand, is renowned for its stunning expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. The Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2023 continues this tradition, offering a fresh and vibrant take on the region’s signature varietal. Known for its balance of ripe fruit, minerality, and bright acidity, this wine showcases the best of Marlborough’s cool-climate terroir.

Appearance: Pale straw with greenish highlights, reflecting its youth and freshness.

Aroma: The nose is expressive and aromatic, bursting with tropical fruit notes of passionfruit, guava, and mango, alongside zesty citrus tones of lime and grapefruit. Hints of freshly cut grass, herbs like basil, and a stony, mineral edge add complexity to the bouquet.

Taste: On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively, offering flavours of ripe tropical fruits such as passionfruit and pineapple, balanced by a bright acidity and citrus-driven notes of lemon and lime. There is a subtle herbaceousness typical of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, along with a clean, mineral texture that adds depth and refinement.

Finish: The finish is long, refreshing, and zesty, with lingering citrus and tropical fruit, leaving a mouth-watering crispness.

Food pairing: This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as oysters, prawns, or ceviche, where its acidity complements the briny freshness. It also works wonderfully with light salads, goat cheese, or Thai and Vietnamese dishes, where the wine’s herbaceous notes and bright fruit enhance the spices and herbs in the food.
