Critic Scores

95 // Emma Jenkins MW

"Aromatic and evocative, bursting with pink grapefruit, tropical fruits, elderflower, lemongrass and snow pea, with a creamy lees undertow and flashes of herbal/mineral notes. A rich palate generous in tropical fruit and citrussy acid drive, which tightens up to a nicely crisply saline, long dry finish. Richelle Tyney joined Greywacke in 2021, bringing steady-handed finesse to an already very smart collection of wines."

93 // Erin Larkin

"The wine is salty, fine and sedate - the characters are all in balance with each other. I love this wine from this small producer. It is intense and concentrated, shaped by savory phenolics and loaded with crunchy New Zealand acidity. This speaks of the place in a clear, unfettered voice, and it's brilliant for that."

93 // Wine Spectator

"This white's vibrant, aromatic mix of lemon blossoms, ripe peach, kumquat and lime sherbet shows focus and intensity on a sleek and smooth body. Touches of candied ginger and green tea linger on the fresh finish."

17 // Julia Harding MW

"Vibrant but not overly pungent grassy…with grapefruit and grapefruit-pith zestiness. All those flavours on the palate and an unexpected spiciness that prickles on your tongue. Pure, taut, fresh and lively but with more texture and depth – and length – than many a New Zealand Sauvignon. This has real presence and complexity, the lees adding a chewy richness on the long finish."

91 // Rebecca Gibb

"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is open and richly fruited with mid-palate richness. It offers tropical flavours and elderflower notes with flecks of green pepper and jalapeño. Despite the ripeness of fruit, there's still plenty of acidity and an assured grip on the finish."

Description

The Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a benchmark Marlborough release from Kevin Judd, showcasing both aromatic intensity and textural refinement. Fruit from select vineyards across the Wairau Plains was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented predominantly in stainless steel to preserve purity, with a portion undergoing wild yeast fermentation to enhance complexity. Bottled under screwcap at 13.5% ABV, the wine is vivid and expressive, opening with aromas of pink grapefruit, passionfruit, white peach and elderflower, layered with lemongrass, snow pea and subtle flinty mineral tones. The palate is vibrant and layered, combining tropical fruit richness and citrus precision with creamy lees texture and a fine phenolic grip. Fresh acidity and a saline edge drive a long, dry and focused finish that speaks clearly of Marlborough's cool climate and maritime influence. Immediately appealing on release but capable of developing further nuance over the next five to seven years, this is a Sauvignon Blanc that pairs effortlessly with shellfish, fresh salads and herb-laced cuisine.
