2021 | Greywacke | Chardonnay

Greywacke Chardonnay 2021 presents an inviting aromatic profile with notes of ripe peach, citrus, and a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, the wine showcases a medium body with flavours of yellow apple and lemon zest, accompanied by a touch of minerality. The acidity is bright yet balanced, lending a refreshing quality to the finish.

Producer Information

Greywacke is a New Zealand wine producer located in the Marlborough wine region of the country's South Island. It is owned by winemaker Kevin Judd, who rose to prominence in his previous position as winemaker for Cloudy Bay as well as for his parrallel career in vineyard photography. Grapes for Greywacke wines are sourced from vineyards across the wider region, and in particular those owned by the Sutherland family. The wines are made at the Dog Point Winery in the lower Brancott valley, which is co-owned by Ivan Sutherland. Greywacke takes its name from the high prevalence in the initial Rapaura vineyard of sandstone-based greywacke soils. Sauvignon Blanc and a fragrant, finely structured Pinot Noir form the core of the Greywacke wine portfolio. Two styles of the former are made; the zesty, mineral-laden Greywacke label, based on stainless steel vinification, and the Wild Sauvignon which is fermented in old oak barrels with wild yeasts and shows spice, herbs and vanilla. A rich Pinot Gris from the Brancott Valley, a crisp Riesling with a touch of sweetness from Fairhall, and a late-harvest Riesling from the same location complete the portfolio.
