2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Greywacke Wine Republic - Enoteca and Wine Merchant

2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Greywacke

Marlborough, New Zealand

“The Grown-Up Sauv”

Expressive yet beautifully composed, Greywacke’s 2024 Sauvignon Blanc opens with lifted aromas of grapefruit, lime zest and passionfruit, underpinned by fresh-cut herbs, elderflower and a subtle flinty edge. The palate is vibrant and textural, combining juicy citrus and tropical fruit with mouth-watering acidity and a gently savoury note that adds depth and restraint. It’s precise rather than punchy, finishing long, clean and refreshingly dry.

For when: you want all the freshness, without the fireworks.
Pairs with: grilled fish, asparagus, goat’s cheese, or anything with a squeeze of lemon.

Greywacke is the Marlborough project of Kevin Judd, former chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay and one of the architects of modern New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from select vineyards in the Southern Valleys and central Wairau, the fruit benefits from low yields, varied soils and careful harvesting for balance rather than overt intensity. Judd’s hands-off approach, including wild ferments and extended lees contact for some parcels, brings texture and complexity to the finished wine. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that respects Marlborough’s identity while elevating it, expressive, thoughtful and quietly confident.

Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay from its inception for 25 years and instrumental in the international recognition which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc enjoys now. The name 'Greywacke' was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard, a sedimentary rock which is widely found in Marlborough. Kevin Judd is also New Zealand's finest wine photographer and has recently published a book 'The Landscape of New Zealand Wine'.

Harvest commenced slightly earlier than normal on 16th March. Grapes were harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions and transported directly to the winery in the Omaka Valley. The fruit was lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice. This was cold-settled and racked prior to fermentation, which was primarily carried out in stainless steel tanks with cultured yeast. All individual vineyard batches were left on lees until late June, when the blend was assembled.
