2020 Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc
Greywacke (pronounced Greywacky) is the Marlborough label of the Judd family (ex-Cloudy Bay winemaker) and the name of New Zealand’s most abundant bedrock. These understated grey river stones are found throughout Marlborough’s rivers and alluvial vineyard soils.
Established in 2009, Greywacke is truly a family affair where the ethos is very much ‘keep it simple and hands-on’.
The fruit is sourced from mature vineyards in prime viticultural sites to optimise the potential afforded by Marlborough’s sunny South Pacific climate. Sustainably managed, crop levels are restricted to enhance flavour and a long, cool growing season produces fruit with incredible varietal intensity and bright, natural acidity.
Greywacke is accredited with AMW status (Appellation Marlborough Wine), ensuring provenance, authenticity and integrity.
