Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc

Marlborough, New Zealand

Kevin Judd's standard release — the benchmark for Greywacke's house style. Cold fermentation in stainless steel preserves the intense passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, cut grass, and fresh herb character of Marlborough. Cleaner and more precise than most Marlborough SB despite minimal intervention. Exceptional focus and length.
