Greywacke - Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2017 750ml

A wallflower when compared to other, more aggressively aromatic Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs, this wine offers hints of citrus, stone fruit, flowers and grass on the nose. The palate is of most interest here: It's linear and chalky yet slippery in feel, with a fair lick of acidity that's just barely balanced by fruit and florals.

The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc has a fresh gooseberry and Granny Smith apple bouquet with a hint of undergrowth in the background. The well-balanced palate displays a crisp line of acidity and a touch of bitter lemon that counters what feels like a comparatively rich finish for a young Sauvignon Blanc. This is just packed with flavour.
