Greywacke Marlborough Chardonnay 2022

$4299

Kevin Judd spent 25 years as the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay — the wine that made Marlborough famous — before launching Greywacke under his own name in 2009. The estate takes its name from the greywacke river stones that pave Marlborough's soils. This Chardonnay shows the more serious, Burgundy-leaning side of the project: wild-yeast fermented and barrel-aged for texture and complexity, a world away from simple New World fruit bombs. Expect richness balanced by Marlborough's natural acidity. From one of New Zealand's most experienced and respected winemakers.

"Rich and toasty with a golden-green hue, there's no mistaking the oak in the 2022 Chardonnay, which has the overt style that we've come to expect from Greywacke Chardonnay. Ripe, white stone fruit meets floral and smoky bacon tones in this young, unapologetic expression. Yet plenty of concentration and a sense of firm tension give this wine persistence and drive." —Rebecca Gibb MW

"The 2022 Chardonnay is ripe and powerful, with intense fruit in the mouth, buttered popcorn characters and yellow peach. The acidity is as bright as the fruit is ripe, a characteristic of New Zealand Chardonnay that is both distinct and consistent. This is a little more obvious and fruit-driven than last year's iteration." —Erin Larkin

"Powerful and elegant, with flavors of grilled lemon, poached pear, peach preserves and litsea oil that are precise, juicy, smooth and intense on the finish, where a touch of toasted green tea lingers."
