Greywacke
Kevin Judd Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015
I've loved Kevin Judd's Sauvingnon Blanc efforts since the Cloudy Bay days. Greywacke has always offered the best of NZ Sauvingnon Blanc for a cracking price. Everything you'd expect with lots of fruit (lime, grapefruit) and grass - I simply couldn't believe my luck when I first tasted. But has it lost a step here (2015)? Tried it against a nice but cheaper Rimpare - Greywacke just had the edge. But compared with the Saint Clair Wairau Reserve (2014] it came a distant second. I still love the wine - so it's not bad - but I ask myself if the sudden popularity has had a negative impact on the quality. My money will go on the Saint Clair. — 9 years ago

This is proper NZ SB. Absolutely love it once the worst chill left the glass. Distinct flint on the nose, followed by gooseberry, grapefruit, grass and (I'm not mad) nuts & boiled potatoes. A lovely mouthful with a long lasting finish. Paid a shade over £20 but happy that its better value than the Greywacke (2015) that I tried beside at £18. My new favourite NZ Sauvingnon Blanc. — 9 years ago
