A vibrant combination of fresh basil and spicy tomato leaves, tossed with tangy nashi pear and mandarin, sprinkled with a little lemon zest. A highly perfumed wine with blossom-like floral aromas and a subtle flintiness that alludes to an underlying core of minerality. A mouth-watering, refreshing style with a deliciously crisp, yet luscious finish.
The Greywacke portfolio is primarily based on two varieties, sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, the sauvignon blanc being produced in two distinctly different styles. In addition to this core range of three wines, there are also limited edition releases of chardonnay, and three aromatic varieties – pinot gris, riesling and gewurztraminer.
Awards and Accolades
93 Points - MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator USA "Smooth and succulent, with supple melon, peach and lemon meringue flavors that manage to be graceful and seamless, while still packing a wallop of intense flavors. Spice, chamomile and lemon verbena details crescendo on the long, lingering finish"
95 Points - Bob Campbell, Bobswinereviews.com "Tight, pure, mineral-laced Sauvignon with citrus flavours infused with a faintly floral/wildflower character. The net effect is energy and precision."
☆☆☆☆☆ - Michael Cooper, Buyer's Guide to NZ Wines 2014 "Notably weighty, it has pure, searching, finely poised melon, lime and passionfruit flavours, showing excellent delicacy…"
92 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Winefrontnz.com "Leans heavily and convincingly into sweet gooseberry territory. Gravelly and herbal about the edges, with a steeliness to the finish. Pristine, and good."
91 Points - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, erobertparker.com "…plenty of lemon and lime character presiding over nuances of lightly browned toast, white blossoms and coriander seed…"
