Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a fruit-driven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc of generosity and weight — white blossom, yellow peach, crunchy pear and juicy lime on the nose, with honeydew melon, white nectarine, crushed seashells and chalky minerality on the palate, finishing with a mouthwatering lemon-sherbet zing. Sourced from prime vineyard sites across Marlborough’s Southern Valleys and the Wairau Plains, fermented in stainless steel with lees ageing until late May.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2025 presents a bright, pale straw-green hue with excellent clarity — the hallmark of a cool-climate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc harvested at night from prime vineyard sites across the Southern Valleys and Wairau Plains, lightly pressed and cold-settled to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice. Fresh and immediately inviting in the glass.
Aroma
Picture a summer picnic table — vases of white blossom, a vibrant salad of aromatic herbs with soft yellow peach, crunchy pear and a squeeze of juicy lime, apricot sponge cake and custard tarts. A sweet-scented array of ripe deliciousness that captures the generosity and ripeness of Marlborough’s 2025 vintage with extraordinary precision and charm.
Palate
Flavours of honeydew melon and white nectarine mingle with savoury notes of crushed seashells and a hint of chalky minerality — a fruit-driven Marlborough style with generosity and weight that delivers a luscious sense of ripeness. The finish is mouthwatering, with a lemon-sherbet zing that is both refreshing and deeply satisfying. A Sauvignon Blanc of genuine complexity and length.
Pairs With
A natural match for fresh seafood — oysters, grilled prawns, steamed mussels, ceviche or a classic New Zealand green-lipped mussel chowder — equally outstanding alongside goat’s cheese, asparagus, Thai green curry or a vibrant summer salad of aromatic herbs and stone fruit. The white blossom, citrus, melon and chalky minerality make this one of the most versatile and rewarding Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs of the vintage. Serve well chilled.
