WINE DESCRIPTION
Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Kevin Judd, the former winemaker of the iconic Cloudy Bay, in New Zealand. The grapes are sourced from various vineyards in the Marlborough region, known for its unique terroir and very long growing season that is well suited for Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is made using wild yeast fermentation and takes place in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the flavor profile. The style of the wine is characterized by its intense aromas of stonefruit, citrus, and grass, with crisp and refreshing acidity on the palate. Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a high-quality, complex, and flavorful Sauvignon Blanc.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Wild Sauvignon from Greywacke is a classic example of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.Intense aromas of passionfruit, guava, and pink grapefruit fill the nose, followed by notes of cut grass and jalapeño peppers. On the palate, the wine is full and textured with vibrant acidity and a long, lingering finish. The wild ferment complexity and richer barrel-fermented texture of this wine make it a grown-up version of Sauvignon Blanc worthy of keeping for special occasions. Drink within 5 years.
