Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2017
The Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is intensely complex, thanks to fermentation with wild yeasts and ageing in old French oak barriques. This flagship white wine from Kevin Judd is a sweet-scented fusion of fragrant summer fruit and pastry shop perfume, peaches and nectarines, apple custard and lime meringues – all mingled with a dill-like herbal quality and a faint hint of wood smoke. The palate is fleshy and brimming with stone fruit and citrus, finishing crisp and juicy with a long, flinty dryness. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of sauvignon blanc that is both intricate and textural.
