| The exquisite wines of Greywacke are the fulfilment of Kevin Judd’s long held dream. The name Greywacke recognises the many rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the Kevin and his wife Kimberley’s first vineyard located in Rapaura, Marlborough. This quality focused winemaking venture sources fruit from mature vineyards within the region of which a number of them are owned by Ivan Sutherland and his family, Long time friends, Ivan, James Healy and Kevin go back to the inception of the Marlborough wine industry where they all formed the basis of Cloudy Bay wines. Now James and Ivan lend their winery Dog Point to Kevin to create his artistic wines. The Greywacke portfolio is primarily based on two varieties, sauvignon blanc and pinot noir, the sauvignon blanc being produced in two distinctly different styles. In addition to this core range of three wines, there are also limited edition releases of chardonnay, and three aromatic varieties – pinot gris, riesling and gewurztraminer. Kevin’s signature vineyard photographs provide the unmistakable identity of the Greywacke range.

Winemaker/Proprietor: Kevin Judd is one of Marlborough’s pioneer winemakers whose career is intrinsically linked with the global profile of New Zealand wine. Kevin was born in England and grew up in Australia, where he studied winemaking at Roseworthy College. He moved to New Zealand in 1983 and joined Selaks Wines. Subsequently, he became the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay, a pivotal role during which he directed the company’s first 25 vintages. In 2009 he established his own label, Greywacke, named after New Zealand’s prolific bedrock. Alongside winemaking, Kevin has developed a parallel career in photography. For over two decades his evocative images have appeared in countless publications worldwide including his first book The Colour of Wine, and his second The Landscape of New Zealand Wine was published in 2009 to considerable acclaim. |
