Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

93 points, “The 2021 Sauvignon from Greywacke is classic yet classy. It is richly aromatic yet not flamboyant, with good purity of fruit: expect flavours of black currant and nectarine alongside subtle tropical fruit and citrus. Due to a naturally low-yielding season, it offers impressive concentration and a ripe, succulent midpalate. The fine, mouth-watering acidity provides length and line on the zesty, passionfruit-infused, lightly structured finish. Delightful in youth, but it will evolve and provide a different Sauvignon experience in five to seven years.” – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous

Although Greywacke is relatively young, this label from the irrepressible Kevin Judd is destined to become one of New Zealand's most exciting names this decade. Judd acquired fame with the establishment of Cloudy Bay winery, which subsequently cemented its place as one of the world’s most iconic and recognisable wine brands.

This Sauvignon Blanc is created from select parcels of fruit grown in prime vineyard sites in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. The wine is a quintessential expression of Marlborough, with fragrant aromas of ripe summer fruits, melon, white peaches and delicate citrus blossom and elderflower. For fans and followers of Cloudy Bay - and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in general - Greywacke cannot be missed. Perfect to be enjoyed as an aperitif, it can also accompany goats’ cheese, sushi or fennel and parmesan salad.
