Description
Greywacke Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand, 2023
Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, a portion of the juice was allowed to undergo spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation in old oak barrels.
Made with grapes from Marlborough's Southern Valleys (clay-loam soils) and the central Wairau Plains (greywacke river stones).
Producer Tasting Note:
Enticing aromas of cassis, lemon sorbet and green mango, with a delicate dusting of white pepper spice. On the palate, juicy Winter Cole pear and baked apple pie notes are lifted by fragrant layers of elderflower and ripe citrus. An elegant yet striking interpretation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - textural and opulent, lifted and lingering.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Gorgeously grassy, but the tropical fruit has a savoury rather than candied style. Lovely waxy texture and slaty tone on the palate with rather full body for Sauvignon Blanc, and excellent persistence. Surely the flag-bearer for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc these days." Drink 2024-2026
17/20 points, Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, September 2024
"Light yellow-green with a fresh lifted gooseberry and feijoa bouquet that is bright and intense and very
typical of the grape and region. Intense fruit with a penetrating quality and lingering length. Clean, dry
finish without overdone acidity. A fine wine."
95/100 points, Huon Hooke, TheRealReview.com, 2024
Also Silver Medal at the 2024 TEXSOM awards.
