2018 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc

Greywacke is the Marlborough label of former Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd, where he presided over that company’s first 25 vintages establishing the reputation that it has today. The name Greywacke was adopted by Kevin and his wife Kimberley for their first Marlborough vineyard in Rapaura, named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. Kevin registered the name back in 1992 with the vague notion that he might one day want to use it on a wine label of his own.

Brilliant water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Intense passionfruit and ripe gooseberry scents overlay citrus, herbaceous asparagus and light grassy notes. Boasting wonderful concentration the mouth is bursting with vibrant passionfruit, gooseberry, lime and green apple flavours. Also evident is some herbaceous grassy characters and light asparagus. Cleansing acidity makes for a long refreshing dry finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
