Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2016-White Wine-World Wine
Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2016

twf 94

The Wine Front – Has bare-bones DNA of herbal, grassy notes with mescal, pepper over stone fruits and passionfruit. There's a sniff of wild stuff in briar, warm cashews, honey-on-toast and something like pot pourri. Palate is trim and given good curves from chalky fringes and limey acidity. It's deeply flavoured yet courses with power. Tight, lean, needs a decant it feels, or at least, several years in cellar. Architectural sauvignon blanc, with pleasure. 94 points, 2016-2029

World Wine – Beautiful fruit perfume, clipped with cut grass and a touch of Thai spice, think lemongrass and ginger, and leads to a citrussy, tangy palate of coursing, tightly wound fruit. Refreshing, gently spicy, touch chalky in texture for interest, grassy but not green; it's a fantastic release that offers quintessence of Marlborough, with added pizzazz. Drink on.

Wine Enthusiast – This wine captures the passion fruit notes typical of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, then underscores them with a silky textural element. Hints of white nectarine and celery stalk add nuance to the long, white-grapefruit-inflected finish.

Wine Spectator – "Opens with a fragrant floral note, offering high tones of honeysuckle. The lemon meringue pie and dried mango flavors are intense and vivid, showing terrific intensity on the finish."

Decanter – "One of the most sought after Marlborough Sauvignons, demand must follow owner Kevin Judd around – he was chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years before deciding to go things alone. Intriguing fenugreek seed and bacon fat aromas evolve into elderflower and citrus. On the palate, intense gooseberry and fenugreek dominate, with elderflower and honeysuckle providing some richness, followed up by slight mineral notes. Although vibrant, the acidity is kept in check, making this a well balanced wine."

Situated in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand's premier wine-growing region, Greywacke is a testament to the land's fertile soils and ideal climates. Founded by Kevin Judd, the brand draws its name from the river stones found throughout the area, which play a significant role in the terroir and consequently, the wines produced. The winery specializes in producing wines that truly reflect the essence of Marlborough. Each bottle captures the freshness of the region's cool-climate vineyards, along with the layered complexity that the unique soils impart. Be it the zesty aromatics of their signature whites or the delicate structure of their reds, Greywacke wines are a delightful exploration of what New Zealand has to offer to the world of wine. Embodying the spirit of innovation and tradition, they are a true celebration of nature's bounty.
Greywacke, an esteemed name in the wine industry, is primarily celebrated for its exceptional New Zealand wines. The winery is particularly renowned for its outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, a varietal that Marlborough, the region Greywacke calls home, is globally recognized for. Beyond its signature Sauvignon Blanc, Greywacke also crafts other exceptional wines such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. The distinct terroir of Marlborough – its cool climate, extended sunshine hours, and unique soil composition – helps Greywacke produce wines that are both aromatic and possess a profound depth of flavor. The consistent quality across their portfolio showcases the winery's dedication to maintaining the purest expression of their grapes.
Greywacke wines find their origin in Marlborough, the sunlit and verdant region located at the northeastern tip of New Zealand's South Island. Marlborough has quickly ascended to become one of the world's premier wine-growing regions, largely due to its ideal grape-growing conditions. The region's maritime climate, coupled with its stony soils (from which Greywacke gets its name), creates the perfect environment for vines to thrive. The combination of these elements allows Greywacke to craft wines that are a true reflection of Marlborough's exceptional terroir.
Selecting the "best" from Greywacke's portfolio can be subjective, as preferences vary. However, their Sauvignon Blanc often stands out, gaining accolades and recognition for its vivacious aromas, crisp acidity, and underlying mineral notes. Their Pinot Noir, too, deserves a mention, presenting a beautiful balance of red fruit characteristics, subtle earthy undertones, and a lingering finish. Over the years, their Chardonnay has also garnered attention for its richness, layered complexity, and elegant oak integration. Every bottle from Greywacke is a testament to meticulous winemaking and a deep respect for the land from which the wines are born.
The notion of affordability can vary among individuals, but in the realm of quality New Zealand wines, Greywacke offers a compelling value proposition. Their wines, while positioned at a slightly premium price point in comparison to some other Marlborough labels, justify their cost with unparalleled quality, consistency, and the unique expression of the region's terroir. While their flagship wines may carry a higher price tag, they also offer selections that provide exceptional value for their price, allowing both connoisseurs and casual wine enthusiasts to experience the magic of Greywacke. It's a balance of quality and cost that makes Greywacke wines a worthwhile investment for those seeking the best from New Zealand's vineyards.
