However, from fruit-set all the way to harvest the perfect levels of heat, sunshine and precipitation followed with perfectly ripe grapes emerging from every vineyard. Harvest began at the end of March, coinciding with the international lockdown, however, with winemaking seen an essential service production did not stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome vineyards were harvested by machine during cool (often cold) night time conditions and others by hand during the day. The grapes were lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice, which was then cold-settled prior to racking into French oak barriques, a small percentage of which were new. The juice was allowed to undergo spontaneous indigenous yeast fermentation, the tail end of which continued for well over six months. The wine had occasional lees stirring and approximately two-thirds underwent malolactic fermentation. It was transferred out of oak prior to the following harvest and left on yeast lees for a further five months. The wine was bottled in September 2024 with alcohol 13.5%, pH 3.16 and acidity 6.3 g\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inimitable and tightly knit Judd family are at the helm of Greywacke, also the name of the familiar New Zealand bedrock in this region. And, a bedrock this label has undoubtedly become, synonymous with exceptional quality in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Greywacke ethos centres around natural and sustainable winemaking with organically farmed sites and a small, dedicated team running the entire operation. Crop levels are restricted to enhance concentration of flavour and a long, cool growing season produces fruit with incredible varietal intensity and bright, natural acidity. Meticulous canopy management regimes are employed to provide sufficient fruit exposure to deliver ripeness of flavour, textural richness and optimum acid balance. Greywacke is accredited with AMW status (Appellation Marlborough Wine), ensuring provenance, authenticity and integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEED ADVICE? ASK A SOMM LIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny questions about this wine?
