Greywacke Riesling

Jasmine, honeydew melon, Granny Smith apples and lemon zest combine with steely anise-like notes and sweet frangipani blossom to create a vibrant and wildly fragrant bouquet. Silky and textural on the palate, with layers of honeysuckle, citrus peel and juicy stone-fruit flavours. An age-worthy and luscious, off-dry style with zesty acidity and a seam of minerality that provides drive to the long, elegant finish.

Organically farmed grapes were grown at Ashmore Vineyard in Fairhall, adjacent to the mouth of the Brancott Valley, on gravelly clay-loam soils.

The name "Greywacke" was adopted by Kevin for his first Marlborough vineyard located in Rapaura in recognition of the high prevalence of rounded greywacke river stones in the soils of the vineyard, a sedimentary rock which is widely found in Marlborough.
