Aromas of cassis and passionfruit are first to emerge, with guava, crisp pear and white peach adding a delicious fruit salad intricacy. On the palate, it’s generous yet refreshing, with ripe pineapple and a lime sherbet zing, layered with elderflower and hints of citrus blossom. A classic example of Greywacke’s interpretation of the famous Marlborough style – ripe, textural and scrumptious – with the volume turned well down.

Description

About Greywacke Wines

Greywacke (pronounced Greywacky) is the Marlborough label of the Judd family and the name of New Zealand’s
most abundant bedrock. These understated grey river stones are found throughout Marlborough’s rivers and
alluvial vineyard soils. Established in 2009, Greywacke is truly a family affair and while the company now exports its
wines all over the world, the ethos is very much ‘keep it simple and hands-on’ with a small, dedicated team running
the company from Greywacke HQ in the heart of Marlborough’s Omaka Valley. The fruit is sourced from mature
vineyards in prime viticultural sites to optimise the potential afforded by Marlborough’s sunny South Pacific climate.
All vineyards are sustainably managed with substantial and increasing proportions coming from organically farmed
sites. Crop levels are restricted to enhance concentration of flavour and a long, cool growing season produces fruit
with incredible varietal intensity and bright, natural acidity. Meticulous canopy management regimes are employed
to provide sufficient fruit exposure to deliver ripeness of flavour, textural richness and optimum acid balance.
Greywacke is accredited with AMW status (Appellation Marlborough Wine), ensuring provenance, authenticity
and integrity.

Each variety is grown and vinified using techniques aimed at achieving very specific wine styles, with a common
objective of delivering concentration of flavour and a harmonious balance of texture and acidity. Minimalintervention winemaking is adopted to create wines with personality and individuality, aiming for subtle, ripe,
delicious-drinking styles. Wild (indigenous) yeast fermentations are used extensively to incorporate savouriness to
the flavour profile and build on the structure and intensity of mouthfeel.

The Greywacke range is primarily based on two varieties, sauvignon blanc and pinot noir; the sauvignon being
produced in two distinctly different styles. Limited releases of chardonnay, riesling and pinot gris complement the
line-up. Kevin’s signature vineyard photographs provide the distinctive identity of the Greywacke labels.
