Greywacke 2023 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker Notes

The 2022 Greywacke was the least expensive and only white wines in Wine Spectators Top 10 Wines of the Year for 2023. By the time the list was published, this fantastic Sauvignon Blanc was already sold out in most markets.

Greywacke's owner/winemaker is one of the figures predominantly responsible for the meteoric rise of NZ Sauvignon Blanc during the late 1990's/early 2000's as the founding winemaker of New Zealand's original cult wine, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. His dedication and expertise with the varietal grown in the Marlborough district is unmatched and he now has his own winery, Greywacke, the local name for the grey bedrock underlying his vineyards.

The new 2023 is another fantastic wine, so grab it while you can, before the word gets out that it is available again. 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, yuzu and ripe citrus. An elegant yet striking interpretation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - textural and opulent, lifted and lingering.
