Greywacke Riesling
Greywacke Riesling. A vibrant medley of Granny Smith apple, white-fleshed nectarine, mandarin and citrus blossom – entwined with a wild-yeast derived gunflint and lanolin-like savouriness. An invigorating off-dry style that walks on the wild side and delivers a ying-yang balance of bright, natural acidity and a subliminal touch of sweetness – a mouthwatering palate that finishes with a delicious lemon/lime tang.
Organically farmed grapes were grown at Ashmore Vineyard in Fairhall, adjacent to the mouth of the Brancott Valley on gravelly clay-loam soils, conditions more typical of the Southern Valleys than the Wairau plains. This 23-year-old organically certified vineyard is trained on a two-cane VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trellis and is rigorously shootand fruit-thinned to regulate yield.

Winery Description
Named after New Zealand’s prolific bedrock, Greywacke (pron. Greywacky) is the personal venture of Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough’s pioneer winemakers. Sourcing prime fruit from mature vineyards within the central Wairau and Southern Valleys, Kevin uses low-intervention winemaking to create wines hallmarked by their concentration and individuality. Alongside winemaking, Kevin has developed a parallel career in photography, his evocative images appearing in countless publications worldwide. It was inevitable that Kevin’s images would take pride of place on the labels of his solo winemaking venture – the synthesis of his dual passions.
