 | GREYWACKE NEW ZEALAND-2009 Sauvignon Blanc
Greywacke is the new Marlborough label of ex-Cloudy Bay’s pioneer winemaker Kevin Judd.
The History. Kevin is intrinsically linked with the global profile of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Born in England and raised in Australia he moved to NZ in 1983 becoming the founding winemaker at little known winery Cloudy Bay. Kevin played a pivotal role, directing the first 25 vintages until he resigned in 2008. By any definition he is the father of the inimitable NZSB style. Not only this Kevin has a parallel career as one of the World's great wine photographers.
Fruit for Greywacke SB is sourced from the small Judd family vineyard in Rapaura and from mature Sutherland family plots in the Wairau Plains and Southern Marlborough Valleys – specifically Woodbourne and Renwick. The name derives from the indigenous Greywacke rock that is prevalent throughout the Marlborough region and was registered as a wine name by Kevin back in 1993 with the vague notion that he might one day want to produce a wine of his own.
The wine is made by Kevin at the famous Dog Point winery, a facility extended to him by long-standing friends and industry colleagues Ivan Sutherland and James Healy. Kevin’s famed ‘non-interventionist’ technique is to cold-ferment most of the ‘juice’ in stainless steel using cultured yeasts while a portion of the wine underwent a spontaneous wild yeast fermentation in French oak barriques. All the various batches were left on the lees and kept separate until this July, at which time the final blend was assembled.
The wine shows all the hallmarks of Kevin’s famed style, ripe fruit, fine balance, great concentration and superb varietal intensity

 | ATA RANGI NZ- Martinbourough Sauvignon Blanc 2008
If you want a nippy, refined sauvignon to perk up Christmas palates, this precocious ’08 is the bottle to serve. Martinborough, on the North Island, gets rather overlooked in the Cloudy Bay South Island sauvignon stampede.
A pity, as this floral, white peach-stashed, yet herb and gooseberry-laden, wine demonstrates.

Producer Information:
Laid back New Zealander Brett Jackson is very much settled in Chile - although he hasn't lost his lifelong affection for the All Blacks - and much of Valdivieso's success in recent years has been down to his efforts. Based in Lontue, the company has a wealth of vineyards and the quality of the terroir is shown by the Single Vineyard wines. The whole range encapsulates everything that Chile excels at: rich, vibrant flavours and smooth, glossy textures - and the wines deserve the multitude of gongs they have picked up in recent years.
