Greywacke
Greywacke began in Marlborough in 2009 by Kevin Judd, who as head winemaker at Cloudy Bay for 25 years helped them become so sought after. The name comes from the stone which makes up much of New Zealand’s bedrock. Their fruit is sourced from prime sites in the Wairu Plains and Southern Valley. It is mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir but they also do limited edition releases of other varieties.

(6x75cl) 2015Wine Advocate (92)
The 2015 Chardonnay is 10 years from harvest, and while in lovely condition, it doesn't appear to have the same level of complexity to the fruit as some of the more recent vintages. Here, the wine shows concentration and heft, paired with a spear of citrus acid. It's juicy and long but has more power than detail. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. GSTSG$448.43 -
(3x150cl) 2017Vinous (93)
I agree with Greywacke's founder, Kevin Judd, that Marlborough Chardonnay is still waiting to be undiscovered. This taut, savory style has lovely richness on the midpalate. It is not shy and retiring with its flint, smoky bacon and toast characters, derived from a combination of winemaking techniques, both barrels and solids. It is deeply satisfying despite its tense, youthful character. This wine will be released in 2021 and if you put it in your cellar and forget about it for five years, there's no need to worry.Inc.

James Suckling (95)
Aromas of ripe apples, pie crust and hints of flint and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of fruit, from apples to oranges, as well as a hint of oak. It’s flavorful and long in the finish. Plenty going on here. Youthful and al dente. Drink or hold. Screw cap.Inc. GSTSG$722.45 -

Vinous (90)
The medium-bodied and well-concentrated 2022 Pinot Noir lends a savory edge to Marlborough's rich fruit. There's depth and roundness on the mid-palate thanks to the richer soils of Marlborough's Southern Valleys. A bright, acidic freshness frames the 2022 as satisfying tannins lightly coat the palate. The oak is still a little prominent on the nose and the front palate, but it should integrate more fully in the coming two to three years.Inc. GSTSG$751.88 -

Vinous (92)
This Sauvignon is neither flamboyant in its aromatics nor firm in its structure, but quietly understated, like its maker – and it is all the better for it. The pure and delicate flavors include apple and elderflower. The aromatic intensity has had the volume turned down to a pleasing hum thanks to 20% wild fermentation. Light in body, displaying lovely balance and poise.Inc. GSTSG$396.67 -
Decanter (95)
Seductive bouquet of wild flowers and minerals, a fine leesy complexity and fresh aromas and flavours of citrus, peach tea and sweet hay. Crisp, refreshing, fruity and dry with fine texture. Just enough concentration of flavour to contrast the fresh herb notes and salivating acidity. Well made and long.Inc. GSTSG$487.14 -

The Real Review (96)
Mid yellow, bright colour; the bouquet is layered, with buttered toast, smoked charcuterie reductive notes, fresh-herb traces and lemon/citrus peel aromas. If there is oak, it has mellowed in beautifully with time. Firm, dry, long finish. A full flavoured, rich wine which transcends the grape variety. Excellent.Inc. GSTSG$308.91 -
Decanter (97)
The flagship wine from renowned winemaker Kevin Judd, who founded this winery with wife Kimberley in 2009 after 25 years at Cloudy Bay. Sourced from sites across the region, it is fermented using wild yeasts in old French oak barriques where it rests on lees for six months. Roger Jones: Stylish balance of fruit to herbaceous notes, multi-layered with a crunchy texture, mellow yellow summer field flowers. The elegance at the end is quite remarkable. Freddy Bulmer: Attractive and clean on the nose, plenty of primary fruit but also a nice amount of savoury character from the oak. Well balanced and really quite a serious wine. Cat Lomax: Expressive, punchy nose. Great concentration, tonnes of luscious Sauvignon fruit supported by very smart use of oak. Tastes like pricey white Bordeaux. Delicious.Inc. GSTSG$286.06 -

The 2022 Wild Sauvignon is ever an elegant affair, and this year feels quite restrained in its outlay of fruit, oak and spice. I love this wine; it ages beautifully, and it shows the serious, more complex side of Sauvignon Blanc. This is highly recommended. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. GSTSG$610.31 -
