Intro to Greywacke Pinot Noir –
Greywacke Pinot Noir from Marlborough is reminiscent of ripe black cherries and plum jam aromas intermingling with a floral perfume. The palate blends blackberries and cherry with smoky vanilla oak with oregano and cinnamon. This is a deliciously fragrant, finely structured wine with intense varietal expression.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Greywacke Pinot Noir – imagine a black forest gateaux made with marinated black cherries and very ripe blackberries, served with a little creamy vanilla custard. Greywacke Pinot Noir is a highly perfumed Marlborough Pinot featuring exotic fruit, spiciness and a delicate smoky scent reminiscent of lapsang souchong. The palate is dense and generous with ripe cherry-plum richness, some soft liquorice and clove and a fine but voluptuous tannin structure.
All the fruit used to make this wine was grown in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. The summer was delightful with an ideal growing season an the grapes were hand harvested and chilled overnight prior to hand sorting. Most of the fruit was put in to open-top fermenters and after fermentation the wine was pressed, racked and filled to French oak barriques of which 40% was new.
The producer –
Greywacke was created in 2009 by Kevin Judd, chief winemaker at Cloudy Bay from its inception for twenty five years and instrumental in the international recognition which Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc enjoys now. The name ‘Greywacke’ was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard, a sedimentary rock which is widely found in Marlborough. Kevin Judd is also New Zealand’s finest wine photographer and has recently published a book ‘The Landscape of New Zealand Wine’.
Drink with –
This wine is a delicious match with salads, canapes and slightly spicy fish dishes.
