2021 sees the first of Greywacke’s Archive Release series. Each year Kevin held a limited quantity of wines back at the cellar for later release. He feels that now is the right time to share the exceptional 2013 vintage. 2013 in Marlborough saw a combination of conditions which produced top quality grapes across all the varieties. After a cool and dry spring, temperatures warmed up in December providing excellent conditions for flowering, with an average-sized crop set. Summer saw huge amounts of sunshine, and the warmest Christmas Day in 66 years. However, the mean daily temperatures were below average, providing an idyllic sunny and dry environment for ripening without excessive heat. Intermittent rain warded off severe drought conditions which were experienced elsewhere in New Zealand, and the grapes were harvested in perfect condition.
