"An emblematic vintage
"With his 25 years at Cloudy Bay, Kevin Judd has played a key role in the worldwide renown of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Today, his Greywacke wines (especially the Wild Sauvignon) are benchmarks in their own right. This elegant, textured vintage brims with lively freshness of pineapple sorbet, elderflower and green mango, with invigorating lime acidity and a creamy passion fruit finish." (Decanter 2023).

About the wine:
Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is concentrated and powerful on the palate. It develops a sensation of richness, while balancing the natural acidity of the vintage. It presents fresh aromas of elderflower, pineapple and passion fruit. Despite a difficult season, this is a well-thought-out, well-judged style that offers clean, clear and pure flavors.

The nose is fresh and slightly smoky, while the palate is generous and long. New Zealand is a very fine producer of Sauvignon.
