2023 Marlborough Wild Sauvignon

Greywacke’s signature ‘Wild Sauvignon’ is arguably Kevin Judd’s flagship white wine. This alternative New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc style is fermented in old oak barrels using indigenous yeast. This use of indigenous yeast results in a lengthy fermentation process that can last almost a year after harvest. Yet it is a process that rewards patience, resulting in a textured white of considerable depth and opulence, with a lingering savoury finish of tarragon and lightly smoked tea.

2023 Tasting note: The nose is defined by aromas of rock melon, ginger, lime zest and toasted coconut lemon curd and tangelo flavours provide a juicy foundation to the expansive, full-flavoured palate. Lush and textural, the generous fruit is balanced vibrant acidity and chalky shell notes.
