The 2023 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc is an iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, crafted by renowned winemaker Kevin Judd. Fruit is sourced from premium vineyards across the Southern Valleys and Wairau Plains, with cool fermentation in stainless steel and extended lees contact to preserve freshness while adding texture. The nose is intensely aromatic with cassis, lemon sorbet and green mango, complemented by notes of passionfruit, white pepper and fragrant citrus blossom.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and an impressively textured mouthfeel. Flavours of Winter Cole pear, baked apple, yuzu and ripe citrus are layered with elderflower and subtle mineral notes, leading to a long, fresh and beautifully balanced finish. The combination of concentrated fruit, crisp acidity and lees complexity delivers a Sauvignon Blanc that is both expressive and refined.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for those seeking a premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional purity, intensity and elegance. Pair it with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, goat's cheese, sushi or Thai-inspired seafood dishes. Enjoy now while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their peak, or cellar for 3–5 years to gain additional texture and complexity.
