Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2023
From £33.95
Why Mark chose this
Kevin Judd helped put Marlborough Sauvignon on the map, and this is his more grown-up take on it. Barrel-fermented with wild yeast, it swaps the usual zingy style for something rounder and more textured. If you think you've gone off Sauvignon Blanc, this is the one to change your mind.

Tasting Notes
Greywacke’s signature Wild Sauvignon is arguably Kevin Judd’s flagship white wine. Fermented in old oak barrels using wild yeast, this is an alternative, intricate style – a textured wine with a lingering savoury finish of tarragon and lightly-smoked tea. A Sauvignon of considerable depth and opulence, created by fermenting Sauvignon Blanc entirely with naturally occurring yeast for an extended period, sometimes for almost a year after harvest. Flavours of a summer fruit salad of papaya, honeydew melon and ripe, golden quinces – drizzled with citrus flower water and a squeeze of orange skin oil. A delicious floral fragrance and juicy tropical fruit, infused with a fennel-like herbal thread and a faint whiff of wood smoke. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc that is both intricate and textural, with a rich, succulent palate finishing crisp and long with a flinty dryness.
