2019 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 a light tinge of green to the edges and a watery hue. Intense herbaceous gooseberry scents intermix with passionfruit, citrus and grassy asparagus scents. Some flinty mineral notes are also apparent. Showing plenty of flair and cut the palate is resplendent in refreshing gooseberry, citrus and passionfruit flavours which possess excellent concentration. Traces of lime, herbaceous asparagus characters and a subtle minerality ensue. Dry racy finish with a long mouth watering conclusion.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 13.5%
