Cork Talk with Kevin Judd

Kevin Judd may have been born in England, but he made his name on the other side of the globe at Cloudy Bay in New Zealand’s South Island. During his tenure, he produced a series of Sauvignon Blancs that changed vinous history – and forged a nice side line as a skilled landscape photographer. Now running his own Greywacke winery, he’s a wonderfully dry, laconic interviewee. Listen to us chat about hyperfocal distances, Marlbourgh’s maritime climate, how to get the best out Chardonnay and why he hates being called a twitcher.

To read more about Kevin and see some of his magnificent photos, have a look at the Greywacke website. You can also follow him on Instagram @greywacker.
