Product.Nr. 2467
Pioneering Marlborough winemaker Kevin Judd created this textural wine with a lingering finish – fermenting it in oak barrels and using wild yeasts. Doing so provides a significant savouriness and a totally different mouthfeel from the classic crisp and clean Marlborough Sauvignon. Prepare to experience something out of the ordinary.
Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Aromatic layers of fresh peach, elderflower and lemon oil mingle with richer notes of dried mango, honeycomb and shortcrust pastry. The palate is bright and lively, with tropical flavours of green papaya and cantaloupe alongside preserved citrus, pink peppercorns and a salty hint of oyster shell. Generously textured with a long finish, this is a hands-off interpretation of Marlborough sauvignon blanc – an untamed, unique expression of the season and place.

Review for Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc 2024:
The Real Review
A whiff of smoky reduction leads to exotic notes of box hedge, lily, lemon curd and golden kiwifruit, all trimmed in a neat bow of zingy acidity and fine-grained wood tannins. Concentrated and deliciously complex without any hint of austerity or herbaceousness, this can be enjoyed right away but will offer upsides if kept for a few more years.
Wine type: White wine
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Food match: Match with Mediterranean fare and seafood.
Vineyards: Marlborough, New Zealand. Fruit was sourced from various vineyard sites in the Southern Valleys and the central Wairau Plains near Woodbourne. Soil types are predominantly the older, dense clay-loams of the Southern Valleys, containing varying proportions of gravel. The sites around Woodbourne vary from young alluvial deposits containing greywacke river stones to heavier clay-loams closer to the mouth of the valleys. The vineyards were trained using two-four cane VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trellis.
Winemaking: Some vineyards were harvested by machine during cool, often cold, nighttime conditions, while others were harvested by hand during the day. The grapes were lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice, which was then cold-settled before being racked into French oak barriques, a small percentage of which were new. The juice underwent spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation, with the tail end continuing for well over six months. The wine received occasional lees stirring and approximately two-thirds underwent malolactic fermentation. It was transferred out of oak prior to the following harvest and left on yeast lees for a further six months. The wine was bottled in September 2025.
