Producer
Founded in 2009 by Kevin Judd, the former founding winemaker of Cloudy Bay, Greywacke has become one of Marlborough’s most respected independent producers. Working with carefully selected vineyards across the region, Judd creates expressive wines that combine vibrant fruit with texture, complexity and mineral freshness. Sustainability is central to the wider Marlborough approach, with responsible vineyard management and environmental stewardship helping protect the region’s soils, water and biodiversity. Greywacke’s wines offer a refined, distinctive interpretation of Marlborough’s celebrated terroir.
Tasting Notes
The first single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc at Cloudy Bay was called Cloudy Bay Greywacke Vineyard. It was then that winemaker Kevin Judd registered the name Greywacke – just in case he ever needed it in the future. It was 16 years before he would. By then, Kevin had almost single-handedly put Marlborough on the map. Greywacke is his passion-project, his opportunity to make Sauvignon that`s different to the typical herbaceous, tropical Marlborough style. He describes this as tasting like a sponge cake with lemon icing. It’s deliciously peachy, with flavours of melon and blackcurrant.
Food
A perfect pair for salmon, sushi, and vietnamese cuisine.
