Greywacke is the Marlborough label of former Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd, where he presided over that company’s first 25 vintages establishing the reputation that it has today. The name Greywacke was adopted by Kevin and his wife Kimberley for their first Marlborough vineyard in Rapaura, named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. Kevin registered the name back in 1992 with the vague notion that he might one day want to use it on a wine label of his own.

Crafted primarily from Mendoza clone sourced from the lower reaches of the Brancott Valley and Fairhall.

Whole bunch pressed, indigenous yeast fermentation in French oak (20% new) with occasional lees stirring and 100% MLF. 18 months maturation in barrel.
