2023 Greywacke Wild Sauvignon

Concentrated and textural with mouth filling flavours and refreshing acidity.

Fermented predominately in old oak barrels using wild yeast then matured in the same barrels for around 6 months with occasional lees stirring. Approximately two-thirds underwent malolactic fermentation.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Intense gooseberry and citrus aromas infused with a mix of herbaceous grassy characters, pencil shavings, asparagus and spice emanating from the glass. Concentrated and texturally voluminous in it’s flow across the palate, mouth filling ripe gooseberry, passionfruit, pear and lime fruits meld into a back drop of herbaceous grassy elements, pencil shavings and spice. Refreshing acidity with a long generously endowed finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews.....
A wine for pausing and taking it all in. This is alluring with its passionfruit gels, tangerine and lemon myrtle oil. Some frangipani and candle wax. Dried hay and barley crop. The palate extends the robust flavour of grilled nuts and manuka honey, with good skin and oak texture. Some bitter orange on the finish. A wine with lots of detail and complexity. Drink by 2030.
