2023 Greywacke Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Grape
Sauvignon Blanc
Its Origins
Greywacke is the Marlborough label of Kevin Judd, and the fulfilment of a long held dream. The name Greywacke was adopted by Kevin and his wife Kimberley for their first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura, named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. Kevin registered the name back in 1993 with the vague notion that he might one day want to use it on a wine label of his own. This quality focused winemaking venture sources fruit from mature vineyards within the central Wairau Plains and the Southern Valleys. The wines are made by Kevin at Dog Point Winery in the lower Brancott Valley, a facility extended to him by long-standing friends and industry colleagues, Ivan Sutherland and James Healy.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Bob Campbell MW (2022 vintage)
One of the best sauvignons from the 2022 vintage I have yet tasted. It is ripe, concentrated, pure, and has impressive underlying power. Passionfruit, melon, guava and struck flint flavours are some of the more obvious descriptors. 21 DEC 2022." Drink 2023 - 2026
95/100 Huon Hooke (2022 vintage)
"Struck flint reductive notes introduce the bouquet, and there is richness and excellent depth of fruit in the mouth, underlined by a little apparent sweetness, all resolved on the nicely balanced finish. Superb flavour: gooseberry, kiwi-fruit, passionfruit and other tropical fruits, and a long and satisfying aftertaste. 06 JAN 2023." Drink 2023 - 2030
97/100 Winerater.co.nz (2021 vintage)
"Concentrated, punchy sauvignon blanc with grapefruit, passionfruit, green capsicum, lemongrass and guava flavours supported by fruity acidity. A textural wine with good weight and a lingering finish 26 JAN 2022." Drink 2022 - 2026
