Barrel-aged wine from a tiny, elevated parcel in the vineyard. Here, on just two hectares, with soil composed of fractured Greywacke rock, the vines are subjected to extremely reduced treatment to achieve the highest concentration. The hand-picked grapes are spontaneously fermented in large French oak barrels (500–1300 litres) and aged on the lees for 10 months. A portion of the juice is fermented on the skins, which lends the wine additional texture and depth.

Tasting note
A kaleidoscope of aromas, including lychee, mango and white floral, with herbal notes of tarragon and thyme. The succulent palate is equally intricate with gooseberry compote and nectarine, melding with notes of linseed, lanolin, flintstone and sandalwood. Bright acidity and a hint of saltiness provide perfect balance to the generous and textured finish. Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is a hands-off style of Marlborough sauvignon blanc, an untamed and singular expression of season and place.

Additional information
Wine type: White wine
Grape varial: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Food match: Match with Mediterranean fare and seafood.
Vineyard: Auntsfield Estate, Southern Valleys, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Single Block "South Oaks": This small 2 hectare block is situated at the very southern elevated corner of the vineyard next to some old Oak trees. It has a unique free draining soil made up of crushed Greywacke rock that has fallen from the steep hill behind.
Growing season: Vigour and fertility in this block is very low resulting from the high Greywacke rock content. As a result, the vines are treated differently to normal Sauvignon Blanc with only 2 canes laid, shoot thinned to 16 shoots, hand leaf plucked with a high 80% exposure. Very small berried and open bunches are typical in this block, with an average cropping level of 2.5kg per vine. At harvest the berries take on a blush appearance as it is ripened to around 23-24 Brix. One of the secrets to this block is that it holds its acidity level at high brix / ripeness levels.
Winemaking: The fruit is hand-picked, hand sorted then whole bunch pressed. A proportion of juice is fermented on skins. Fermentation begins naturally (with vineyard indigenous yeast). The juice is fermented in large French oak vessels (500-1300L). After fermentation the wine is aged on yeast lees for 10 months.
