Greystone Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Greystone draws its name from the unique limestone conglomerate that we find as the bedrock on which our vine roots grow in. A limestone mix of fossils, sea shells and small pebbles that have been fused together through the seismic movement of North Canterbury. Over time this ancient seabed has been pushed and folded upward.

Sophisticated, textured and restrained, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is organically grown. That care continues in the winery. There are rich aromas of pineapple, red apple and lemon curd with supple layers of interest. It’s round, soft and creamy in texture thanks to being grown on clay subsoil, as well as partial malolactic conversion and maturation in French oak on lees. This is a pared back, carefully thought-out wine that reminds me a little of a good Sancerre – long and satisfying.
