"An iconic vintage"

"With 25 years at Cloudy Bay, Kevin Judd played a key role in establishing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc's global reputation. Today, his Greywacke wines (particularly Wild Sauvignon) are 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).

About wine:

Greywacke's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is concentrated and powerful on the palate. It develops a rich sensation, while balancing the natural acidity of the vintage. It has fresh aromas of elderflower, pineapple, and passion fruit. Despite a difficult season, this is a well-thought-out and well-judged style that offers clean, clear, and pure flavors.

The nose is very fresh with a slightly smoky aroma. The palate is generous with good length. New Zealand is a very fine producer of Sauvignon Blanc.

Very rich fruit flavors! Yellow fruits, peach, melon, then exotic fruits such as mango and passion fruit. Lovely freshness.
