Greywacke History
Greywacke (pronounced Greywacky) is the Marlborough label of the Judd family and the name of New Zealand’s most abundant bedrock. These understated grey river stones are found throughout Marlborough’s rivers and alluvial vineyard soils.
Established in 2009, Greywacke is truly a family affair and while the winery enjoys international acclaim and exports its wines all over the world, the ethos is very much ‘keep it simple and hands-on’ with a small, dedicated team running the company from Greywacke headquarters in the heart of Marlborough’s Omaka Valley. In addition to being one of Marlborough’s pioneering winemakers, Kevin Judd is also an established professional photographer. His images can be found on all Greywacke wine labels.
