Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a refined New Zealand white wine that combines the variety’s vibrant aromatic character with a silkier, more textured style. Made from mature Marlborough vineyards and shaped by both stainless-steel and oak fermentation, it offers a distinctive balance of lively acidity, mineral umami and impressive length. Greywacke was founded by Kevin Judd, the former chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay, and takes its name from the local greywacke river stones that define the region’s landscape.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a bright, fresh appearance, with an expressive nose of yellow peach, grapefruit and passion fruit, complemented by delicate hints of ginger and jasmine. On the palate, lively acidity gives the wine energy, while its silky texture and pronounced mineral character add depth and balance. The finish is long and satisfying, with a subtle savoury umami quality that sets it apart from more straightforward Sauvignon Blancs. Although it is particularly appealing in its youth, the wine’s texture and balanced structure should allow it to develop gracefully over the short to medium term. Enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit and aromatic freshness, or cellar it for added savoury complexity.

Production
The grapes are sourced from mature vineyards in Marlborough, between the Southern Valleys and the Wairau Plains. The region’s alluvial soils, rich in river stones and underlain by older clay-based formations, contribute freshness, mineral character and depth. Night harvesting helps preserve the grapes’ aromatic intensity. After gentle pressing, the majority of the juice is fermented at low temperature in stainless-steel tanks, while a portion undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts in older oak barrels. The wine is then matured on its lees before the final cuvée is assembled, bringing together purity, mineral freshness and a rounded texture. It is suitable for a vegan diet.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, oysters, grilled prawns, ceviche and sushi, as well as goat’s cheese, asparagus, herb-led salads and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not necessary, although allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help its peach, citrus, floral and savoury notes unfold.
