Greywacke

Nestled within the renowned wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand, lies Greywacke Winery - a hidden gem easily overlooked by casual wine enthusiasts. Established by Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough’s first pioneering winemakers, Greywacke (pronounced "grey-wacky") is not a typical winery. It has established a stellar global reputation for its luscious, meticulously crafted wines.

The name Greywacke itself is derived from the high prevalence of greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. These stones contribute significantly to the intense flavour profile for which Greywacke’s wines are celebrated.
