When one thinks of Sauvignon Blanc, the Malborough region of New Zealand is what will come to mind for most wine lovers. Among the most sought-after, in-demand Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs on the market, Greywacke has the perfect combination of style and pedigree mixed with outstanding quality and exceptional value.

Founded by 'legendary Marlborough winemaker' (Wine Advocate) Kevin Judd in 2009, after being head-winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years, it has become one of the country's finest producers. His singularly independent approach favours serious, linear wines with freshness, that makes his bottlings 'hark back to the great wines of the Loire Valley' (Matthew Jukes).

The newly released Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2020 scores 95 points from Decanter and placed top in their 'New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc: 20 from 2020', re-affirming that Judd's wines are a cut above the rest. Thankfully, prices haven't caught up with the quality, as this new release costs only £10.83 per bottle IB.

Supported with scores of 94 points from James Suckling and 91 points from Vinous, the 2020 is a 'youthful yet mellifluous expression of Sauvignon Blanc' that is 'crisp, clean and full of adolescent vigor' (VN). Longer lived than most NZ Sauvignon you will come across, Decanter's Cameron Douglas MS gives a drinking window up to 2028.

Offered at just £130 per dozen IB, the Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is simply a refreshing, delicious bottling offering outstanding value for money. There is no need for bells and whistles here.
