On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003esilky texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and lively acidity, balanced by a pronounced mineral savouriness. The bouquet reveals notes of yellow peach, grapefruit and passion fruit, combined with hints of ginger and jasmine.

The local geology is characterised by alternating \u003cstrong\u003ealluvial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in river stones and ancient clay-based subsoils. This synergy imparts a deep savoury imprint and vibrant minerality to the wine.

The wine, suitable for a vegan diet, matures on its lees until the creation of the \u003cstrong\u003efinal blend\u003c\/strong\u003e. This careful management harmonises the mineral freshness with the texture acquired during ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded by Kevin Judd, the renowned former chief winemaker of Cloudy Bay, Greywacke winery takes its name from the \u003cstrong\u003erounded river stones\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of the soils in Rapaura.
