Kevin Judd was the first winemaker in the famous Cloudy Bay area. His role as precursor has made him a reference point in terms of style for the wines of the Malborough region. He has also contributed to raising the reputation of these wines which have a nice minerality, the right acidity and an exuberant aromatic expression. By founding Greywacke in 2009, Kevin and Kimberley Judd realized a life-long dream of theirs. Located in Malborough, the northernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand, Greywacke's vineyard has the perfect climate: in one of the sunniest places on the planet, it is sheltered from the rain by the Richmond Ranges. Greywacke's name comes from the pebbles which are a part of the geological composition of the region. The domain works to achieve the perfect ripeness, with a different vision for each parcel, as the domain is scattered throughout the region. The two main varieties and Sauvignon blanc and Pinot Noir.
