Reviews for the 2023 vintage below…

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Wonderfully composed and expressed, the enticing bouquet shows golden peach, lemon sorbet, orange peel, honey and subtle spice aromas. It's equally satisfying in the mouth, delivering excellent concentration and richly textured mouthfeel, wonderfully complemented by elegant sweetness and juicy acidity. Certified organic. Style: Medium. At its best: now to 2035."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A complex and very enticing bouquet filled with scents of wet stone and flinty mineral qualities, apples and lemons, white flowers and a complex layers of lees. Off-dry as the wine touches the palate with an immediately contrasting squeeze of acidity. Flavours from the bouquet unfurl fast adding weight and mouthfeel, a delicious wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2030."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, February 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is elegantly presented with aromas of lime, zest, apple, jasmine and pollen. Medium-full bodied, aromas of lime and lemon melded with apple, lime zest, jasmine and pollen. Off-dry to taste, flavours packed on the palate with balanced sweet and sour. Zingy acidity persists in a long, textural finish. This Riesling is well-balanced and flavoursome, with layers of fruit, floral and a textural mouthfeel. Match with pork chops and Prawn pad Thai over the next 6+ years. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, fermented long and cool with 5-10% botrytis bunches, 12% alc. Blended and bottled after 4 months on yeast lees, unfined. Organic certified."

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.
