Greywacke Botrytis Pinot Gris (375ml)

Greywacke (yes, it’s pronounced grey-wacky) is the family wine label of the Judds. You’ll find Greywacke HQ in Omaka, Marlborough producing world class Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and other styles from organically farmed sites.

Head of the family is Kevin Judd – an absolute winemaking legend in his own right and pretty handy with a camera too! Kevin has pursued a parallel career as a photographer and has published several books including “The Landscape of New Zealand Wine”, “The Colour of Wine” and (our favourite) “Wine Dogs New Zealand”.

Born in England and raised in Aussie, Judd moved to NZ in 1983 and would later become the founding winemaker of Cloudy Bay and go on to produce the first 25 vintages.

“Keep it simple and hands-on” – that’s the Greywacke way of thinking. Trust us, the wines are anything but simple!

This is their 2023 release Botrytis Pinot Gris and it’s what they like to call “A patisserie-like mélange conjuring notions of a luscious cardamon-infused
crème brûlée with honeyed biscotti. The silken palate is layered with poached quince, praline and dark orange marmalade – a lavish, concentrated interpretation of the pinot gris grape, with a spine of acidity that gives vibrancy and balance to its succulent, mouth-filling finish.” ”

We say it’s one hell of a delicious sticky!

Drink now to 2033.
