Tasting Note

A seductively aromatic concoction of vine-ripened red and black berries with dried oregano and some cloves. A highly perfumed style of Marlborough Pinot Noir with exotic fruit sweetness and a delicate smoky infusion. The palate is rounded with a fruitcake richness, considerable weight and classic cool-climate vibrancy.

Product Notes

The Greywacke Archive Release Marlborough Pinot Noir is an exquisite wine hailing from the internationally acclaimed Marlborough region in New Zealand.

The palate is elegantly structured, possessing a silky texture and well-balanced acidity, resulting in an astonishing depth of flavours. Its complexity continues to develop, displaying tertiary complexities while maintaining impressive freshness. This excellent vintage is a testament to celebrated winemaker Kevin Judd's mastery and passion. Perfect for refined palates that take pleasure in nuanced wines.

About the Winery

Established by Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough’s first pioneering winemakers, Greywacke (pronounced "grey-wacky") is not a typical winery. It has established a stellar global reputation for its luscious, meticulously crafted wines.
