Product Notes

Greywacke Marlborough Chardonnay is an exemplary New Zealand wine, offering a brilliant fusion of opulence and elegance. It unfurls with stone fruit, citrus and toasted nut flavours, harmoniously balanced by a delicately complex texture. The well-judged oak maturation adds depth and nuance to this terroir-driven wine. Exhibiting a refined minerality, it is a true testament to Marlborough's climate and soil, showcasing the region's capability to produce world-class Chardonnays. Highly versatile, it harmonises beautifully with an array of gastronomic dishes. This sophisticated libation makes any occasion memorable. A must-try for those craving an exquisite Chardonnay experience.

Tasting Notes

A seductive combination of pink grapefruit, lemon curd and candied orange rind intertwined with aromas of toasted hazelnuts and hot buttered brioche. This elaborate fusion of sweet-scented aromatics and a smoky, nutty savouriness carries through onto a wonderfully dry, flinty palate, with great texture, a tight structure and terrific ageing potential.

About the Winery

Greywacke

Nestled within the renowned wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand, lies Greywacke Winery - a hidden gem easily overlooked by casual wine enthusiasts. 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.

The name Greywacke itself is derived from the high prevalence of greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. These stones contribute significantly to the intense flavour profile for which Greywacke’s wines are celebrated.

Amidst the picturesque landscape, Greywacke thrives on sustainable viticulture - carefully nurturing vineyards without chemical intervention, promoting biodiversity, and working in harmony with the landscape. Besides the winery, Kevin’s keen interest in photography captures the art of winemaking and the untouched beauty of the environment that nourishes Greywacke’s grapes.

Exquisite flavours and extraordinary quality characterise Greywacke’s portfolio. Specialising in Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, they also produce remarkable Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and late harvest wines. Their Sauvignon Blanc boasts a benchmark style, with its multidimensional richness, vibrant acidity, and lingering finish. It's an epitome of the regional expression. Whereas, the Greywacke Pinot Noir, presents a complex array of ripe fruit flavours balanced with delicate tannins and a touch of savouriness.

Undeniably, Greywacke is a boutique winery where an appreciation for terroir-based craftsmanship is fostered. The result is a range of wines that are truly reflective of their regional typicity: intense, vibrant and richly expressive. Notably, Greywacke wines have received multiple awards and accolades, testifying their commitment to quality and sustainable practices.
