Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc

From Marlborough legend, Kevin Judd, this excellent Sauvignon Bland consists of citrus blossom and elderflower entwined with nectarines and white peaches, mandarin and melon with a twist of lemon. Intensely flavoured, succulent and crisp with a delicate herbal infusion.

Fruit was sourced from various prime vineyard sites in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys and the central Wairau Plains which contain high proportions of New Zealand’s greywacke river stones, to the older and denser clay-loams of the Southern Valleys. Harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions preserving the light and delicate flavours of the sauvignon Blanc grapes. 

Greywacke is truly a family affair and while the company now exports its wines all over the world, the ethos is very much ‘keep it simple and hands-on’ with a small, dedicated team running the company from Greywacke HQ in the heart of Marlborough’s Omaka Valley.

All vineyards are sustainably managed with substantial and increasing proportions coming from organically farmed sites. Crop levels are restricted to enhance concentration of flavour and a long, cool growing season produces fruit with incredible varietal intensity and bright, natural acidity. Meticulous canopy management regimes are employed to provide sufficient fruit exposure to deliver ripeness of flavour, textural richness and optimum acid balance. Greywacke is accredited with AMW status (Appellation Marlborough Wine), ensuring provenance, authenticity and integrity.
