The Wine
Greywacke was founded in 2009 by Kevin Judd – a pioneer of New Zealand’s wine industry. It's named after the region’s rough, stone-strewn sandstone and clay soils that lend its wines a minerally elegance. Kevin works with family growers with old vineyards to obtain the highest quality fruit, then leases a small part of his friends’ Dog Point winery to craft the wines. He majors on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, as you’d expect of Marlborough, but also does a little of this truly majestic, Burgundy-style Chardonnay. Hand-picked grapes, wild yeasts, all fermented in part new oak barriques, with malolactic fermentation and lees ageing – wow! You can understand perhaps how rich, complex and beautifully balanced this white is. Gently chill.
