Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Our Riesling is a true reflection of the land it comes from, drawn from five estate blocks that span both clay and limestone soils. Each block was hand-picked over 10 days at just the right moment, capturing optimal ripeness while balancing freshness and energy.

The fruit was whole bunch pressed, with each parcel pressed slowly to preserve the purest juice. Fermentation was allowed to unfold gently, and the wine then rested on lees for three months to build subtle texture and depth. Finally, the parcels were carefully blended to bring together the unique characters of the vineyard into one expressive estate wine.

Crafted in an off-dry style, the result is a Riesling with lifted aromatics, bright acidity, and a sense of lightness that makes it both vibrant and refreshing."

Reviews for the 2024 vintage below…

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.
