Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, the person responsible for the ground-breaking early wines produced in Marlborough. Greywacke’s signature Wild Sauvignon is arguably Kevin Judd’s flagship white wine. Fermented in old oak barrels using wild yeast, this is an alternative, intricate style – a textured wine with a lingering savoury finish of tarragon and lightly-smoked tea. A Sauvignon of considerable depth and opulence, created by fermenting Sauvignon Blanc entirely with naturally occurring yeast for an extended period, sometimes for almost a year after harvest.
This Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of candied citrus peel, honeysuckle, brioche, tarragon and lemon thyme. The palate is full, with flavours of citrus and stone fruit, with a crisp acidity, a delicate, smoky nuance, and notes of flint on the long, dry finish.
