Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Ripe nashi, vanilla pod, nectarines with subtle baking spices on the nose and palate provide weight to the long palate. Quince jelly and orange peel notes with an underlying creaminess provide layers, textures and complexity.
Picking decisions were taken to maximize fruit expression whilst still maintaining the delicate balance between ripeness & acidity. The fruit was gently pressed with only the free run juice going to tank & a small portion being run to neutral French oak barrels. A slow cool fermentation followed to ensure a purity of fruit & then aged on yeast lees for approximately 6 months to add texture and mouth feel. Both parcels of wine were then blended together adding different layers of texture & additional complexity to the finished wine before being estate bottled here at the Greystone vineyard."
DWWA Judges' Comments (2024 Vintage)
"Unwavering floral enthusiasm greets apple, pear and chalky citrus fragrance. Brimming with substance and style folding the clean cut acidity into the beguiling smoky length."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"It's finely expressed on the nose, showing apricot, fig, poached pear, and subtle spice aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and focus, wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity. Harmonious and elegantly complex with a sustained, delectable finish. At its best: now to 2032."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, varietal and very enticing bouquet of fresh spicy pears and red apple, there’s a fine mineral seam threading through the fruit along with a natural saline and sea-breeze quality. Off dry with a light-sweet tickle, contrasting acid line and generous fruity core. Well made, a wine that is both delicious on its own and food friendly. Best from 2025 through 2030."

Greystone Wines is a family-owned vineyard located in the Waipara wine region in Canterbury, New Zealand. Since its establishment, the vineyard has quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the finest wines in the region, particularly their award-winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The vineyard is situated on the slopes of the Teviotdale Hills, which provide an ideal microclimate for growing grapes. The soils are rich in limestone, which gives the wines a unique mineral character. Greystone Wines is committed to sustainable viticulture practices, and they use a range of organic and biodynamic methods to manage their vineyards. They also have a strong focus on low-intervention winemaking, which allows the grapes to express their natural terroir.
The winery produces a range of wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Gris. As mentioned, all of the wines are made using traditional methods, with a focus on minimal intervention and maximum expression of the vineyard's unique terroir.
One of the standout wines from Greystone Wines is their Pinot Noir. Past recognition includes being judged Best International Pinot Noir by Decanter Magazine, with its complex nose of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones and a palate that is rich and full-bodied. The Chardonnay is another standout, with a beautiful balance of fruit and acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
Visitors to the vineyard can enjoy tastings and tours, and there is also a restaurant on site that serves locally sourced, seasonal food. The vineyard's stunning location, coupled with their commitment to sustainability and low-intervention winemaking, makes Greystone Wines a must-visit destination for wine lovers visiting the Waipara region.
