  • Greywacke (grey-wa-key) is named after the river stones found in Marlborough, and it's one of New Zealand's stellar wineries. This Sauvignon has stunning flavours of mandarin, grapefruit and green peppers
  • Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay from its inception for 25 years and instrumental in the international recognition which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc enjoys now
  • Fruit was sourced from various prime vineyard sites in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, the central Wairau Plains and a spectacular river terrace site in the upper Awatere Valley

Brief Description

Tasting Notes

Deliciously aromatic and highly perfumed – exuding ripe nectarine, pink grapefruit and lemon zest with a lifted floral fragrance reminiscent of jasmine and elderflower. Classic ripe Marlborough Sauvignon – with melon and gooseberry flavours and a touch of passionfruit, wound into a generous, mouth-filling palate that finishes dry and crisp.

About

Harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions, the sauvignon blanc grapes were picked into halftonne bins, which were tipped directly into the tank press and lightly pressed. The resulting juice was cold-settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel, primarily using cultured yeast for cool, slow fermentation. A portion was allowed to undergo spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation using slightly warmer temperature regimes. All individual vineyard batches were left on lees and kept separate until late July, when the blend was assembled. The wine was bottled in mid-August

Ideal with...

Cheese, shellfish, Caesar salad, corned beef and cabbage, turkey pot pie.
