Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2023

Anything with wild in the name indicates a wine that walks to its own beat, which Greywacke’s now iconic wine certainly does. No green veg-and-fruit combo typically found in Marlborough’s famed Sauvy B style here. Instead, a great swathe of rich, reductive characters appear from first inhale: toasted cashews, matchstick and grilled lemons. It’s waxy, salty and evocative. The palate is all about texture, rich and creamy but never heavy, thanks to permeating acidity that keeps the mouth watering. Sip beside grilled mushrooms or asparagus risotto.
