Greywacke is a renowned winery located in Marlborough, New Zealand. The winery was founded by Kevin Judd, who is a well-known winemaker in the region. Greywacke is known for producing high-quality wines, and their Chardonnay is no exception.

The Chardonnay produced by Greywacke is made using grapes sourced from various vineyards in Marlborough. The grapes are handpicked and sorted before being pressed. The juice is then fermented in French oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 18 months before being bottled.

The Greywacke Chardonnay has a pale gold color and a complex aroma. The nose is dominated by notes of citrus, peach, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of ripe fruit, butter, and oak. The wine has a long, smooth finish, with a hint of acidity that balances the richness of the wine.

Greywacke is known for producing wines that reflect the terroir of Marlborough. The Chardonnay produced by Greywacke is a perfect example of this. The wine has a unique character that is a result of the soil, climate, and winemaking techniques used by Greywacke.

Overall, the Greywacke Chardonnay is a high-quality wine that is perfect for those who appreciate complex, full-bodied wines. The wine is a great example of the quality of wines produced in Marlborough, and it is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.

The 2019 Chardonnay leads with a spicy, savory nose of salted ripe yellow peach, preserved citrus, crushed rocks and wet limestone. In the mouth, the wine is fulsome and complete, with wall-to-wall flavor that lingers after the wine is gone. There's something obvious about the Mendoza clone flavours, but I'll admit I like it very much. Good wine here.
Struck flint and hints of sweet corn and toasted grain accent white peaches and ripe pineapple on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied but comes across as fresh and lively, with a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
With a gorgeous apricot, guava and pink grapefruit-scented nose, plus suggestions of cedar, struck match and honeyed toast, the 2014 Chardonnay fills the mouth with rich butterscotch, oak and stone fruit flavors, complimented by a satiny texture and a lively backnbone, finishing long.
The 2021 Chardonnay leads with a nutty, spicy nose, loads of savory curry leaf, a nice flinty reduction and crushed nuts. It’s a brilliant wine with lovely flow. Superb. A mix of Mendoza clone and 95, it was pressed to barrel with 100% solids.
