The wine
This Archive Release of Greywacke's Marlborough Pinot Noir shows the wine's graceful evolution, a mature bottling from the 2017 vintage. Time has added complexity to its pure fruit.
Red cherry, plum, dried herb, spice and forest floor fill an evolved nose. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with savoury red fruit, fine tannins and a long finish.
Delicious with duck, game birds and mushroom dishes. Serve at cool room temperature.

View all Greywacke winesGreywacke is the acclaimed Marlborough estate of Kevin Judd, the founding winemaker of Cloudy Bay and one of New Zealand's most respected names. Named for the region's river stones, it crafts benchmark Sauvignon Blanc and beyond. The wines are among Marlborough's very best.
The grapes come from mature vineyards across the Wairau and Southern Valleys, farmed with care and picked at optimal ripeness. Cool nights and stony soils give the wines their vivid fruit and freshness. Judd's decades of experience show in every bottle.
The range runs from the classic, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc to the wild-fermented, barrel-aged Wild Sauvignon, alongside fine Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Older Archive Release vintages show how beautifully the wines age. Each is pure, textured and expressive.
Greywacke's wines combine Marlborough's signature freshness with real depth and craft. They are elegant, food-friendly and consistently outstanding. A benchmark of New Zealand wine.
