ADD TO FAVOURITES

Greystone produce an outstanding Sauvignon Blanc. You could say it's an enhanced rendition of New Zealand's favourite variety. Naturally fermented in French oak barrels with wild yeasts. Partial malolactic fermentation contributes complexity through the palate with rich fruit expression. The wine was naturally settled in barrel post fermentation, then blended and bottled on site without fining. The resulting wine shows fantastic richness on the palate yet it retains a lithe freshness throughout.

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Pure and restrained on the nose, with white florals, ripe green apple, and a hint of spice. The palate is finely textured and mineral, with a chalky edge from the clay soils. Partial barrel fermentation brings gentle roundness, balanced by bright acidity and a dry, linear finish. A quietly complex Sauvignon Blanc, capturing the precision and poise that have helped make Greystone a household name in New Zealand wine.

The fresh juice was settled after a gentle pressing for 48 hours. The majority of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness. The cool fermentation provided layers of flavour whilst retaining the fresh fruit characteristics that Sauvignon is famous for. A small portion was fermented in aged barrels to add texture and complexity. This wine was estate bottled."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Splendidly fruited with elegant complexity, the wine shows golden apple, grapefruit, rockmelon, lemon zest, and oatmeal characters on the nose. The palate is wonderfully weighted and richly textured, backed by bright acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2030."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sammy Wilkinson, The Wine Writer, February 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"This wine’s nose is insane: fresh pineapple, dried mango, white grapefruit and lemon, with subtle dill, an underlying chalk and wet stone minerality, and secondary whisps of sourdough and creamy vanilla. It’s layered and complex, drawing you in. The palate is a dry and concentrated flavour bomb, with crisp, high, finely integrated acidity. Taut lime and grapefruit lead, followed by pear skin and subtle gooseberry, with hints of lemon thyme and a gentle roundness through the mid palate, framed by a chalky yet lightly creamy texture. The finish is long and salivating. Outstanding balance and structure will allow it to develop with age. This is not your standard New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but it is a must-try. I love this wine!"

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"An excellent bouquet with concentration and power, mineral impacts and ripe fruity frame. Dry and delicious with flavours of peach and cape gooseberry, some pineapple or tropical fruit ideas, sweet hay and chalk, flowers and limestone. There’s a super fine dusty texture as part of the mouthfeel adding breadth to an already impressive wine on the palate. Delicious and distinctive with best drinking from 2025 through 2029."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, November 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow gold. The nose is full, with aromas of tropical fruit, stonefruit, wildflower, herbs and flint. Medium-full bodied, aromas of pineapple and ripe nectarine entwined with flint, brown butter, medicinal herbs and dandelion. The creamy mouthfeel is packed with flavour and ripe phenolics, supported by enlivening acidity, which refreshes and lengthens a rich, flinty finish. A complex, rich-flavoured Sauvignon Blanc with a savoury finish. Match with chicken and fish pie over the next 3-5 years. Wild fermented to 13.5% alc, aged in French oak for 6 months, partial MLF. BioGro organic certified, vegan-friendly."

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.
