“An iconic vintage”

“With 25 years at Cloudy Bay, Kevin Judd has played a key role in establishing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc’s global reputation. Today, his Greywacke wines (particularly the Wild Sauvignon) stand as benchmarks in their own right. This elegant, textured vintage bursts with the lively freshness of pineapple sorbet, elderflower, and green mango, with invigorating lime acidity and a creamy passion fruit finish.” (Decanter 2023).
