TASTING NOTE:

A deliciously spicy Marlborough pinot, bursting with ripe fruit fragrance.
Red and black cherries, super-ripe strawberries, dark-fleshed plums and juicy blackberries –
poached with a stick of cinnamon, some cloves and a sprinkle of nutmeg. The ethereal, but
finely structured palate combines concentrated varietal character, with earthy nuances and a
distinctive smoky complexity

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Greywacke

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, elegance and individuality.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most expensive, most lauded, rarest and delicious wines. Equally it is one of the most difficult grapes to grow successfully and as a result it is quite hard to make a balanced Pinot Noir. It is historically from Burgundy, most specifically in the Cote de Nuits, so much so that a Pinot Noir is often referred to as a 'Burgundy'.

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
