Judges' Comments
95/100 "Fresh honeyed, herbal, cool-climate aroma. Lovely burst of sweetness, delicate and refined, high potential."

95/100 "Apple, floral and honeyed nose. Juicy and honeyed palate. Freshness and lime zest, yellow apple and apricot. Generous and pure fruited. Balanced sweetness.'

95/100 "Pristine apple sorbet, lemon, lime, honey. Palate has a rapier acidity but the touch of sweetness gives a really beautiful succulence to the flavours. Surprisingly lengthy for such a delicate wine."

95/100 "Restrained bouquet of lemon and wet stone. Medium-dry, zesty and fresh with mouth-watering acidity and lovely persistence. Excellent balance."

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Each of our five estate blocks of Riesling were hand picked at varying stages of the harvest, bringing together the characters of our Clay and Limestone soils. Picking at moderate sugar levels has helped to retain a level of lightness and energy to the wine. Each parcel was pressed slowly before settling to retain our purest juice for fermentation. We allowed the wine time to rest after fermentation before bringing the estate wine together with blending.

Clear and pure on the nose expressing subtle citrus and fresh stonefruits.Finely balanced acidity and subtle fruit sweetness give a sense of energy and length to the wine."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Pristine and finely scented, the bouquet shows lime cordial, lemon cured, and crunchy apple notes with a hint of flint. The palate displays excellent weight and focus, wonderfully complemented by delicate texture and elegant sweetness, backed by racy acidity, finishing impressively long and engaging. Style: Medium-dry. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2034."

93/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Piercing aromas of apple blossom, white peach, rosemary and zesty lemon announce this intense and mouth-watering medium-dry riesling. The citrus flavours soak into every crevice of the palate as the tight acidity and sugar play off each other to provide tension while giving it a sense of airy lightness despite the obvious sweetness. A delicious, lithe and elegantly racy wine which will develop slowly by virtue of its balance."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is expressive, with aromas of lime, stonefruit, minerals and jasmine. Medium-full bodied, off-dry to taste, aromas of lime and apricot entwined with zest, jasmine, apple skins and stony minerals. Invigorating acidity cuts through the sweetness and drives with precision. Apple skin and stony minerals contribute texture to this well-balanced, vibrant Riesling. Match with pork hock and spicy fish tacos over the next 5+ years. Handpicked, fermented in stainless steel to 12% alc. 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.
