Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2021/22, Marlborough

The first single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc at Cloudy Bay was called Cloudy Bay Greywacke Vineyard. It was then that winemaker Kevin Judd registered the name Greywacke – just in case he ever needed it in the future. It was 16 years before he would. By then, Kevin had almost single-handedly put Marlborough on the map. Greywacke is his passion-project, his opportunity to make Sauvignon that’s different to the typical herbaceous, tropical Marlborough style. He describes this as tasting like a sponge cake with lemon icing. It’s deliciously peachy, with flavours of melon and blackcurrant. Perfect with smoked salmon.
