Tasting notes
Ten percent of the 2010 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc was naturally fermented in old French barriques. It offers pronounced notes of pink grapefruit, guava and lime slices with hints of fresh sage and chalk dust. Medium bodied with mouth-filling citrus and tropical flavors and a hint of silkiness to the texture, it has lively acidity and a long finish with some herbal nuances coming through. Drink it now through 2013. Greywacke does not currently have a USA importer.

Very pale – almost colourless. Low-key mineral nose. Very lively and much drier than most Marlborough Sauvignons. But not as exciting as the top Loire Sauvignons I have just been tasting chez Roberson. (JR)
Classic New Zealand fruit plus some juniper and elderflower. Sandy texture, sophisticated and balanced. Bright and fruity without any excessiveness. (RH)
