Greywacke

Three Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wines have been named in Wine Spectator magazine's Top 100 Wines of 2022, with Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc ranked 13, as the top scoring wine from New Zealand.

That's an honour in itself says found Kevin Judd.

"It is also humbling to be sitting alongside so many iconic international wineries."

The Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley 2020 and McBride Sisters Collection Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2021 also made the list of 100, along with Central Otago's Burn Cottage for its 2019 Pinot Noir from the Burn Cottage Vineyard.

Wine Spectator describes their annual Top 100 Wines list as a collection of the most exciting wines discovered in blind tastings over the past year.

Their editor team reviewed more than 8,800 wines, and nearly 60% of those rated 90 points or higher.
