2021 Greywacke Marlborough Riesling

94 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
A deliciously succulent and rich Riesling from experts in classic Marlborough varietals. Grown organically near the mouth of Brancott Valley, this vibrant and not strictly dry Riesling was grown on the kind of gravel and clay soils that are usually associated with Marlborough's high-end Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. A wine of serious enjoyment and potential, the Greywacke Riesling is delicious.

Its Origins

Greywacke is the Marlborough label of Kevin Judd, and the fulfilment of a long held dream. The name Greywacke was adopted by Kevin and his wife Kimberley for their first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura, named in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard. Kevin registered the name back in 1993 with the vague notion that he might one day want to use it on a wine label of his own. This quality focused winemaking venture sources fruit from mature vineyards within the central Wairau Plains and the Southern Valleys. The 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.

94/100 Bob Campbell MW

"Medium/dry but perfectly balanced riesling with lime, wildflowers, apricot and oyster shell flavours. Fresh, mouth-watering wine that is delicious now but should develop greater complexity and a mellower texture with bottle age." Drink 2023 - 2030
