Greywacke, best price for this top class Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand Marlborough 2022: 94/100 points from Decanter: Case of 12 bottles delivered

£192.00

94/100 Decanter

With 25 years as the man behind Cloudy Bay, Kevin Judd was key to the global renown of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Today his Greywacke wines are standard bearers in their own right. As the Decanter connoisseur, awarding this 2022 vintage 94/100 points, notes, ‘This elegant, textural vintage brims with zippy pineapple sorbet, elderflower blossom and green mango freshness, with bracing lime acidity and a creamy passionfruit curd finish.’

It is no surprise that Greywacke is so good: Judd left Cloudy Bay to launch Greywacke in his own style—and this 2022 vintage is delicious. It is beautifully ripe, with rounded fruit, fine balance, great concentration and intensity. It has a softer finish than some NZ Sauvignon Blanc, with no sourness or grassiness. ‘I don’t like aggressive Sauvignon that grabs you by the nose and drags you in,’ Judd says. ‘A bit of greenness is traditional, but I’m definitely leaning towards ripe and fleshy, even tropical-fruit qualities.’

You will love this wine, as do the critics and buyers—each vintage is a sell-out. Delicious on its own, it enhances many foods, its intense flavours tasting beautifully with everything from smoked salmon and asparagus to grilled trout, halibut and game fish, excellent with crab and anchovies. It is a fine accompaniment to goat’s cheese and salads and makes a great choice to serve with canapés and a delight alone or with any summer lunch or dinner. Drinking window, from now until 2027.
