DESCRIPTION
Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2023 is Kevin Judd's signature cuvée, a bold and unconstrained interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels (10% new) with an extended maturation on the lees, it reveals a textured, generous, and complex style, while retaining the emblematic freshness of New Zealand terroirs.
The nose presents aromas of ripe melon, lime zest, candied ginger, and toasted coconut. The palate is ample and generous, with a saline finish evoking oyster shell, balanced by a lively acidity. Aging potential of 5 to 8 years. Best enjoyed with seared sea scallops or a poultry tajine with citrus fruits.

Marlborough
New Zealand
Marlborough is by far the most important wine region in New Zealand. At the northeast tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 estates and produces nearly 75% of New Zealand wine. Its warm days, cool nights and well drained alluvial soils create ideal conditions for aromatic wines with crystalline acidity.
This is where the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style that won over the world was born: vibrant, intensely fruity, with a herbaceous touch and saline minerality. While Sauvignon Blanc dominates, Marlborough also produces excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, confirming its place as the international showcase of New Zealand wine.
