Description

Kevin Judd’s Greywacke Chardonnay is an outstanding style from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Fermented with indigenous yeast in French oak barriques (20% new) it goes through complete malolactic fermentation, spending 18 months in oak with occasional lees stirring, producing a savoury, rich and powerful wine with great texture and concentration.

Great length and detail, hints of bacon fat and butterscotch towards the finish add to the sense of weight and power. A serious and powerful wine that has all the volume knobs turned up to 11

Review

The 2021 Chardonnay leads with a nutty, spicy nose, loads of savory curry leaf, a nice flinty reduction and crushed nuts. It’s a brilliant wine with lovely flow. Superb

Tasting Profile

Nose
A virtual marmalade of pink grapefruit and limes, with a dash of stem ginger and orange zest. Tropical aromas of mango and pineapple merge with the bright citrus notes and mingle with an earthy mealiness reminiscent of petrichor (summer rain on dry ground).
Palate
Greywacke Chardonnay has a unique and seductive sweet-savoury combination that carries through onto a wonderfully dry, flinty palate. A wine of incredible concentration, tight structure and excellent ageing potential.
