With 25 vintages as head-honcho at the iconic Cloudy Bay previous to launching Greywacke, Kevin Judd's vast experience with Sauvignon Blanc is blindingly obvious when you try this wine. Beautifully ripe fruit, great concentration, incredible length and of course perfect balance leaves you with no doubt that this is super-premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Vibrant but not overly pungent grassy and pea-pod aromas, 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.
