Greywacke, Wild Sauvignon
£30.00
Description
Alcohol percentage: 14%
Area:
Marlborough, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island is now world-leader in production of aromatic, fresh, appetizing Sauvignon. This is a very different style.
Grape variety:
Sauvignon Blanc, fermented and matured in French oak (only a small proportion of new wood), and using wild (rather than ‘added’) yeast.
Producer:
Greywacke is the solo venture for Kevin Judd, previously winemaker and MD at Cloudy Bay for over 20 years.
Maturity potential:
This ages so well. We have enjoyed bottles at 10 years old and I think it will hold for 15.
The Bottle Shop rating:
Very unusual style of NZ Sauvignon – fermented in oak, using wild yeasts (normally it’s all about keeping control with cool temperatures and selected yeasts). Much richer and more ‘textured’ – a fascinating wine for food.

“I was a customer of the shop before I worked here. It’s the personal touch people come for. It’s what makes them come back.”
