Vineyards & Terroir
The fruit for Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2025 was sourced from premium vineyard sites across Marlborough, including Woodbourne, Renwick, and Rapaura. These areas are renowned for producing some of the best Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand.
The diverse terroir plays a crucial role in the wine’s complexity. Free-draining alluvial soils rich in greywacke river stones contribute to lifted aromatics and purity, while the denser clay-loams of the Southern Valleys add depth and structure. Advanced canopy management techniques, including the Scott Henry system, ensure optimal sun exposure and fruit ripeness.
Vintage 2025 Overview
The 2025 Marlborough vintage is already being recognised as one of the finest in recent years. A warm, wet spring encouraged early vine growth, followed by one of the driest growing seasons on record.
A warm El Niño summer, combined with cool nights, allowed grapes to ripen evenly while retaining vibrant acidity. Careful vineyard management ensured balanced yields and exceptional fruit concentration. Harvest began in late March and extended into April, producing grapes with outstanding flavour intensity and ripeness.
Winemaking Process
Grapes were harvested during cool night-time conditions to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. After gentle pressing at the Omaka Valley winery, the juice underwent cold settling before fermentation.
Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains to enhance varietal expression. Each vineyard parcel was kept on lees until late May, allowing for added texture and complexity before final blending.
This meticulous process results in a premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with both vibrancy and depth.
