A fantastic offer here on premium, organic pinot from one of New Zealand's finest producers. With a few years now in bottle, this stunning pinot noir from North Canterbury legends Greystone is really starting to drink superbly.

Greystone Pinot Noir has established itself as not only one of the finest Pinots from North Canterbury but ranks alongside some of the best in New Zealand.

Made by talented winemaker Dominic Maxwell who was awarded Gourmet Traveller NZ Winemaker of the Year in 2018, this certified organic Pinot Noir comes from vines planted in 2004 and contains a portion that was fermented in the vineyard, a technique pioneered by Dominic.

With rave reviews from leading critics and consistently one of our favourite Pinots at Vino Fino, this wine is a must have for all Pinot enthusiasts.

Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"Our estate grown Pinot Noir with generous richness & flavour concentration. Layers of ripe fruit, floral and spice unfold on the palate with a delicate tannin line. Unfined and bottled on site.

Over 60% of our vines are Pinot Noir and the whole reason we exist on these limestone slopes is to make great Pinot. These calcareous clay soils are ideal for growing Pinot with beautiful finesse and aromatics. There are a mix of Pinot Noir clones grown here that give this wine complexity – like a choir rather than the singular voice if only one clone was used.

Our approach is simple and traditional. After careful hand picking and sorting each batch of Pinot Noir was allowed to soak on skins at ambient temperatures before going through wild fermentation. We gently hand plunged each vat daily before pressing to French oak barriques after one month maceration.Each barrel goes through a natural malo-lactic fermentation the following Summer, before blending and bottling 16months after harvest."

5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2023 (2019 Vintage)
"Refined and complex, the wine shows dark cherry, dried herb, game and toasted nut characters on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying excellent weight and depth. Wonderfully framed by layers of fine-grained tannins, making it structured and engaging. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2031."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"A complex bouquet of pinosity, a sense of place and time, a core of minerality then cherry and red berry fruits laced with spice and lees, English tea and dried herb. Taut and youthful on the palate with core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, an abundance of fine through coarse-silk tannin mouthfeel, medium + acidity and layers of wood spice and barrel sweetness. Delicious, new, taut and still developing. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2033+."

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.
