Greywacke is a recent project from Kevin Judd. Kevin was one of the founders and winemakers behind the legendary Cloudy Bay. There isn't much Judd doesn't know about making Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Greywacke routinely garners critical acclaim, punches above its price level, and is naturally a big seller. This 2021 bottling at initial release is yet to be professionally reviewed, but the 2020 vintage hit another high watermark with 95 points from both Decanter and Bob Campbell as well as 94 points from James Suckling.
A delightful fusion of ripe summer fruit and delicate floral perfume – Golden Queen peaches and poached yellow pears; baked apples, mango and rock melon; mingled with apple blossom fragrance and a twist of lemon sherbet. Succulent and crisp, with a delicate fennel-like herbal quality and a dry, textural palate. Quintessentially Marlborough, but a deliciously subtle, ripe interpretation of the classic style.
ABV 13.5%
Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - Bob Campbell MW:
Intense and quite aromatic wine with capsicum, guava, gooseberry, mineral, and citrus flavours. A powerful example of the Marlborough style.
93 Points - Wine Spectator:
Aromatic, stylish and distinctive, this offers honeysuckle, quince, citron and fresh ginger notes on a sleek and mouthwatering frame. Accents of lemon thyme and apple skin linger on the refreshing finish. Drink now.
92 Points - James Suckling:
Fragrant aromas of candied citrus, guava and orange blossoms followed by nettles, sage and box trees. Medium-bodied, mouthwatering acidity. Vibrant and aromatic.
