Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2024
From the renowned Greywacke estate in Marlborough, New Zealand, founded by Kevin Judd, the Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a refined white showcasing the region’s iconic style. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from prime vineyards in the Wairau Plains and Southern Valleys on greywacke-rich soils, it’s fermented primarily in stainless steel with a portion in old oak. This wine offers a pale straw hue and vibrant complexity.
Winemaking Process
Greywacke’s artisanal approach defines this wine. The 2024 vintage, from low-yielding vines, is hand- and machine-harvested under cool conditions, lightly pressed, and fermented mostly in stainless steel with cultured yeast, with a small portion using wild yeast in old oak barrels. Aging on lees adds texture, creating a balanced, concentrated wine with Marlborough’s signature zest.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, aromatic white with zesty citrus and tropical fruit, offering Marlborough elegance.
The nose reveals passionfruit, lime zest, and green mango, with hints of elderflower, honeysuckle, and white pepper. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and succulent, with juicy pineapple, quince, and citrus, balanced by crisp acidity and a long, mineral-rich finish.
