GREYWACKE Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Tasting notes
Aromatically intense and very expressive, it displays notes of tropical fruits such as passion fruit and mango, accompanied by vibrant citrus fruits (grapefruit, lime) and an herbal touch characteristic of Marlborough. Delicate notes of elderflower and a suggestive minerality are also perceived.
In the mouth it is juicy, fresh and lively, with a well-defined acidity that enhances the flavors of tropical fruit and citrus. Its texture is soft but vibrant, offering a balanced mid-palate and a long, clean and persistent finish with saline and fruity hints.
Description
GREYWACKE Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is Kevin Judd's flagship white wine. Judd was the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay for its first 25 vintages and created Greywacke in 2009, a winery named after the grey river stones that form the foundation of Marlborough's terroir. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc fruit grown in the Wairau Valley and Southern Valleys of Marlborough, New Zealand, this wine is left to reach full ripeness in the vineyard to achieve a refined, textured style. The nose reveals tropical fruit, passion fruit and guava, alongside apple and a hint of smoky grapefruit. On the palate, it is broad, flavourful and vibrant, with an elegant, lingering finish. A benchmark New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, ideal with mussels, seafood and fish.
