Greywacke, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Greywacke, one of New Zealand’s most iconic Sauvignon Blancs, has earned a reputation as the ultimate choice for those who adore New World ‘Savvy B’.

It was Kevin Judd, a renowned winemaker who served as chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years, who created Greywacke in 2009.

He chose the name ‘Greywacke’ for his first Marlborough vineyard in Rapaura to acknowledge the abundance of rounded Greywacke river stones that characterize the soil.

Greywacke owes its unique character to this sedimentary rock, which is prevalent throughout Marlborough.

WINE SPECTATOR TOP 10

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2022 has been named

No.10 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2023. Last year we hit ‘lucky 13’, but reaching the

aspirational Top 10 for the first time has us buzzing with excitement and pride! ⁠

The selection was made by its editors after considering the 9,200 wines that they reviewed

during the course of the year. Wine Spectator has described its Top 100 as “a diverse group,

ranging from emerging labels and regions to traditional estates exploring new directions – and all

generating the excitement we call the X-factor.” The magazine also states that the selection

prioritises quality, value and availability in USA.

Wine Spectator’s Top 100 was first introduced in 1988 and Greywacke has now had the honour

of being included five times – three times for Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc and twice for

Greywacke Pinot Noir. Greywacke’s Top 10 placement is the fourth time that a New Zealand wine

has attained this level of recognition. It is the second time for a Marlborough sauvignon blanc and

remarkably Kevin was responsible for both wines.

Here are MaryAnn Worobiec’s tasting notes –

‘Distinctive, succulent and wonderfully complex,

offering stone fruit flavors on a rich, smooth and mouthwateringly juicy frame, with notes of

honeysuckle, honey-preserved ginger, creamy lemon curd, ripe mango and flowers. Hints of

spices linger on the long, expressive finish.’ 95 Points.

It was a challenging vintage climatically and made more difficult due to a widespread covid

outbreak – this result was only made possible because our small team pulled together once again.

Tasting Note

A hugely aromatic nose of sun-kissed golden peaches, honeydew melon, nectarines and passionfruit, with a generous splash of cassis leaf and a sprinkling of lime zest. A delicately aromatic, ripe interpretation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is generous and textural, showing great concentration and finishing with a crisp, succulent finish.
