Origin
Greywacke (pronounced 'grey-wacky') is the name given to the grey sedimentary rock that characterises much of the soil in this estate's vineyard. The winery was founded in 2009, and is the brainchild of Kevin Judd, former winemaker of Cloudy Bay for 25 years.
Taste
Intense aromatics of melon, peach and papaya are accompanied by hints of tomato leaf and capsicum. The palate is crisp but remarkably mouth-filling, a small portion of the wine having been oak fermented.
Enjoy
Partner with a selection of canapes made with smoked salmon, anchovies or chêvre.

    This elegant, restrained and delicious New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is getting rave reviews, including 5 Stars from Decanter magazine

    Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2010 is not typically Marlborough in style and leans more to Sancerre. It’s a stylish, mouth-filling, food friendly wine with notes of grapefruit and lemongrass with crisp, tangy minerality. This is only the second vintage of Greywacke but with the Kevin Judd name behind it and the fact that it is an excellent wine, it is likely to sell out soon.

Press Reviews

  • Fresh, crisp, young wine

    "Fresh, crisp, young wine giving a juicy fruit salad of tangerine, melon and lime, then ending on a more rounded, softer note. Delicious with crab; also try with aubergine parmigiana. (Susy Atkins, Sunday Telegraph, 19th February 2012)"
