GREYWACKE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2019

‘Kevin has always made keen, chiseled, linear wines with apple skin and cucumber freshness…He never

dipped his toe into the floral, bath bomb and fruit-salad-scented wines so beloved of the high street,

favouring instead serious, handsome, angular creations that hark back to the great wine of the Loire Valley.’

Wine of The Week, Matthew Jukes, MONEY WEEK (UK)

‘Greywacke, a label established just ten years ago, tied with Crawford for the number one spot this year.’

#1 Most Popular New Zealand, #4 Most Popular Sauvignon Blanc in USA restaurants

parts. A classy young expression of the variety.’ 95 Points, Nick Butler, THEREALREVIEW.COM

that give it backbone and length.’ 91 Points, Joe Czerwinski, ROBERTPARKER.COM

enlivened by zingy lemon peel acidity. Oozes class!’ 91 Points, Tina Gellie, DECANTER.COM

Medium-bodied and with a lovely creaminess to the texture, it offers great intensity.’

and great finesse.’ 95 Points, Nick Bulleid, GOURMET TRAVELLER WINE (AU)
