Ian Conroy, JJ Buckley, March 2013

This is classic New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Pale gold with a slight tinge of green highlights. The bouquet is highly intense, showing gooseberry, star fruit, grapefruit, honeydew, candied lemon and lime peel, a hint of jalapeno pepper spice and white flowers. The palate has good texture and a flinty underlying minerality. Bright acidity keeps a nice balance between the fruit. Drink now, or continue to hold for 2-4 years.

Wonderful finish to this wine with a full-blown Pouilly-Fume aniseed and lemon rind character. Full and flavorful. Drink now. Ten percent barrel fermented with natural yeast and old barrels. Screw cap.

Wine Spectator, June 2013

Extremely aromatic, with honeysuckle, lemongrass and lemon zest notes up front, followed by equally powerful lemon, tangerine and nectarine flavors. Everything comes together on a smooth, supple and light body, revealing plenty of juicy highlights. Drink now. — M.W.

About Winery

After 25 years at the iconic Cloudy Bay Winery, founding winemaker and passionate photographer Kevin Judd left the only winery he ever knew to start his own venture. Never an easy step to take after all those years, Kevin felt he was ready to take on some new challenges. So began Greywacke, a name that Kevin had filed away for future use that came in handy three years ago. Named after a local sandstone type soil found in the Wairau plains, Greywacke is Kevin's new winery, an effort to get back to the hands on, intuitive and personal approach to winemaking.
