  Excellent NZ SB. Vivid nose with a slightly thin palate but still one of the best I've tried.

  Greywacke definitely produces high end NZ sauvignon blanc without the typical grassy, gooseberry notes. Good acidity, balance and persistence so a pleasure to drink before dinner on a warm evening.

  #10 on Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year list. A good thing this came out at the LCBO before the list dropped or it wouldn't have been so cheap.
  
  Lovely aromas of elderflower, honey, butter, hay, & passion fruit. The aromas except for the flowers showed up on the tongue in a subtle yet delicious way along with lemon, & pepper. Great acidity to go with the medium plus finish.
  
  The folks at Greywacke don't miss, their Riesling was fantastic now this. Amazing food & snack wine especially with semi-soft cheese & fig jam.

  Another irresistible bottle of Greywacke Sauv Blanc. Pristine, citrussy, refreshing, persistent, linear, balanced: these are just a few of the adjectives that fail to do justice to the joy of drinking it. Screwcap, 13.5%.

  This is interesting overall, way less ripe than usual Marlborough SB, very pristine and without over the head ammonia. However, this isn’t my favourite expression and to me it seemed a little one-sided to be a great wine.
  
  Very pristine and crystal clear nose. Rhubarb, a lot of gooseberry, and lime. A touch of jalapeño. I do not get a lot of tropical fruits, maybe distant pineapple. Ammonia and a little ozone, river rocks. This isn’t overwhelming but to be honest, it also isn’t incredibly complex.
  On the palate, it is dry and the high acidity dominates. Jalapeños and grassy quality come to the forefront. Lemon juice and some gooseberry.
  The finish is defined by the lingering acidity and gooseberry.
  8+/18
