Greywacke is the venture of Kevin Judd, former winemaker at Cloudy Bay for twenty five years and in the process established it as the world's most famous Sauvignon Blanc producer. The Greywacke wines are made by Kevin at Dog Point Winery in the lower Brancott Valley, a facility extended to him by long-standing friends and industry colleagues, Ivan Sutherland and James Healy.
The 2019 Greywacke Chardonnay is another high quality white wine from the team at Greywacke. Complex and generous, this offers a deliciously rich amalgam of pink grapefruit, figs and baked apples intertwine with more savoury characters redolent of meadow hay, toasted hazelnuts and buttered brioche. This grapefruit and nutty savouriness pervades the crisp, dry palate, while the power and concentration of the Mendoza clone creates an extraordinarily long finish that lingers and lingers.
"95 Points. A totally captivating bouquet laced with aromas of baked stone fruits and wood spices. There’s a stony soil mineral quality that sits just beneath scents of apple and white peach, baking spices and a fine flinty quality. On the palate - a wine of texture and complexity, a core of fruit and oak spices, some battonage toastiness and a long weighty, finish. Complex and youthful, textured and dry, a wine that will continue to age and develop with best drinking from 2023 through 2030+. Outstanding"- Cameron Douglas MS, camdouglasms.com.
