Product Notes

Greywacke Marlborough Wild Sauvignon is a stunning New Zealand wine with a captivating complexity. This Sauvignon Blanc is lovingly crafted in the Marlborough region, known for its exceptional viticulture. The "wild" in its name refers to its fermentation with natural yeasts, deepening the flavours. It unveils invigorating notes of passion fruit, honeydew and herbs, intricately highlighted by a well-integrated minerality. The palate is equally impressive, with rich and intense layers complemented by a balanced acidity. Its invigorating finish makes it an ideal pairing with varied dishes. A gem among wines for those who enjoy surprising depth and detail.

Tasting Notes

Flavours of a summer fruit salad of paw paw, honeydew melon and ripe, golden quinces – drizzled with citrus flower water and a squeeze of orange skin oil. A delicious floral fragrance and juicy tropical fruit, infused with a fennel-like herbal thread and a faint whiff of wood smoke. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc that is both intricate and textural, with a rich, succulent palate finishing crisp and long with a flinty dryness.

About the Winery

Established by Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough’s first pioneering winemakers, Greywacke (pronounced "grey-wacky") is not a typical winery. It has established a stellar global reputation for its luscious, meticulously crafted wines.

The name Greywacke itself is derived from the high prevalence of greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. These stones contribute significantly to the intense flavour profile for which Greywacke’s wines are celebrated.

Amidst the picturesque landscape, Greywacke thrives on sustainable viticulture - carefully nurturing vineyards without chemical intervention, promoting biodiversity, and working in harmony with the landscape. Besides the winery, Kevin’s keen interest in photography captures the art of winemaking and the untouched beauty of the environment that nourishes Greywacke’s grapes.
