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 wineries. 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.
This 2019 Greywacke Pinot Noir is another exceptional Pinot release from the team at Greywacke; a highly perfumed style of Marlborough Pinot Noir featuring exotic fruit sweetness, a cedar-like spiciness and a delicate smoky scent reminiscent of lapsang souchong. The palate is dense and generous with ripe cherry-plum richness, some soft licorice and clove and a fine but voluptuous tannin structure.
"96 Points. The varietal signature of ripe dark cherry, plum, wild raspberry and barrel spices quickly give way to aromas of complexity and intrigue, minerality and flowers. Fantastic texture, core of fruit and flavour on the palate, Dry with firm chalky tannins, plenty of acidity, but overall an energy and vibrato that teases mouthfeel laced with fruit and spice.’- Cameron Douglas MS, World Of Wine NZ.
