Anything with “wild” in the name indicates a wine that walks to its own beat, which Greywacke's now iconic wine certainly does. No green veg-and-fruit combo typically found in Marlborough's famed Sauvy B style here. Instead, a great swathe of rich, reductive characters appear from first inhale: toasted cashews, matchstick and grilled lemons. It's waxy, salty and evocative. The palate is all about texture, rich and creamy but never heavy, thanks to permeating acidity that keeps the mouth watering. Sip beside grilled mushrooms or asparagus risotto. — Christina Pickard

This lively and precise sauvignon blanc has an enticing nose of fresh lemons, spiced apples, rocks and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. Agile, with plenty of energy and texture. Driven and savory, with a long finish. Sustainable. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Savoury, smokey and saline, the 2023 Wild Sauvignon is taut and tense, almost un- Marlborough-like, but over the course of 24 hours it reveals passion fruit and elderflower notes. If you haven't got that sort of time on your hands, pull out the decanter. The wine's sophistication comes not from its flavours but its shape and athletic acid profile. The texture intrigues with its focus and push-and-pull tension. The lip-smacking, medium-long finish is drawn out with smokey and floral talc as well as classic passion fruit and elderflower. Young but eminently drinkable, this has the concentration and structure to go on for a decade or more. Another success story for this bottling. -- Rebecca Gibb MWI

A distinctive style, with a whiff of flint that complements the smoked sea salt, honeysuckle and lanolin notes up front. Offers a core of apricot, white peach and dried orange zest on a supple frame, with vibrant acidity. Drink now. - MW
